“A new generation” of Call of Duty.
call of Duty closed 2021 both in sales and in the number of players. One of the most powerful and massive intellectual properties in the video game industry boasted little positive data in the last quarter with its premium title last year, Call of Duty: Vanguard. Activision Blizzard has published its financial results for the last quarter of 2021, a document from which positive information is extracted from Call of Duty Mobile and in recurring expenses, but not in pure sales.
Neither critics nor the community have celebrated Call of Duty: Vanguard as in previous chapters, especially after two consecutive years of great achievements for the series. Works like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), Warzone (2020) and Black Ops Cold War (2020) have met expectations and increased the trend of in-game consumption. Vanguard was unable to maintain that pace.
Therefore Activision will now be able to count on Infinity Ward who will not only take care of Call of Duty coming out this year, but also of Warzone. Participation has also dropped in the battle royale, despite the arrival of the new Caldera map, so Activision wants to remedy the situation. “The team is working on the most ambitious plan in franchise history, with industry-leading innovations and a very attractive franchise environment“, explain from the company. Infinity Ward itself has confirmed that”a new generation of Call of Duty is coming“, which makes us rub our hands.
A new generation of Call of Duty is coming soon.
Stay frosty.

Regarding the state of the workforce, the company indicated that it has converted nearly 500 temporary workers into full-time employees. Additionally, most of the temporary employees were granted higher wages and better benefits with paid leave.
