In the last twenty years, the COD series has gone through endless ups and downs. However, there’s never been a point where fans haven’t played a new game in the long-running shooter saga. Probably that’s the main reason why it has succeeded to last for so many years, despite facing a growing competition. One can say that the brand of Call of Duty is too big to ignore these days.
That’s why Activision has already worked out its strategy for the next four years. It has been confirmed that Call of Duty titles through 2027 have been already planned out in advance!
Activision president Rob Kostich recently sat down with media outlet GamesBeat. During the interaction, he revealed the publisher’s ambitions regarding COD. “We’re constantly in our planning phase, our long-term planning phase.
