Call of Duty might not have an annual release for the first time in nearly two decades.
According to a report by Bloomberg, Activision Blizzard has delayed 2013’s Call of Duty release that Treyarch is developing. The decision to move next year’s mainline series entry allegedly came independently of Microsoft, which recently acquired Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion.
That doesn’t mean 2023 will be devoid of Call of Duty content, far from it. The Bloomberg report goes on to mention that Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare sequel will receive updates and that a free-to-play title is in the works as well, along with Warzone 2 — whenever that materializes.
A new premium Call of Duty has come out every year since 2005. Next year's offerings will include a new free-to-play game as well as content for Warzone 2 and 2022's Modern Warfare.
