The Call of Duty series is considered one of the most important in video game history, so much so that in fact Sony recently emphasized that it is “essential” and “essential” to sell their video game consoles. It’s impossible to deny that this series of war action games has a lot of appeal, and that’s what allowed Activision to launch new delivery every year without causing a certain feeling of “boredom” in the players.

This has been a trend that the franchise has been following, but Activision Blizzard has confirmed that it plans to break it in 2023, and that means we won’t see a new Call of Duty launch that year. To make up for it, the company releases new “premium” content which will be available for delivery this year, at least in theory. For fans of the franchise, it means we won’t see a new Call of Duty Black Ops until 2024.

To put this information into context, it’s important to note that this will be the first time since 2004 that an entire year has gone by without a new Call of Duty arriving. Activision Blizzard did not give reasons, that is, they did not explain why they are not going to launch a new installment of the franchise in 2023, but I think that may be motivated by the phase of intergenerational transition in which we are.

Launching a new Call of Duty in 2023 would mean keeping the technical base of the previous generation consoles with all the limitations that entails and the problems it could cause on a technical level in order to optimize for the next generation. With that in mind, I guess This year’s Call of Duty will be the last to come to Xbox One and PS4, and that the 2024 installment will be the first to be developed exclusively for the new generation and of course also for PC.

And speaking of this year’s installment, we all know it will Call of Duty Modern Warfare II, and this will have a setting focused on the current era. Barring a disaster, it is very likely that this new installment will be successful and that it will improve the values ​​obtained by Call of Duty Vanguard, an installment that did not have the expected success. Before I finish, I remind you that he is also working on Activision Call of Duty Warzone 2a new part of its well-known Battle Royale, which could bring important improvements at the technical level.
