Activision hints at launching new Call of Duty in 2021
Over the last few months, many fans have become uncertain (or have suggested) about the possibility that the annual announcement of a new Call of Duty game would come to a halt. Some fans who have observed the growing popularity of Warzone started thinking that Activision could abandon the classic series for the online multiplayer.
Those who do not like that idea have just gotten a positive update from Activision. During Activision Blizzard s latest quarterly earnings call earlier this month, the game publisher hinted at already working on the next Call of Duty game. We have a substantial opportunity to continue migrating the community to Black Ops Cold War, as well as another strong premium release planned for Q4 in 2021, chief financial officer Dennis Durkin said (via Motley Fool).
