In case anyone missed keeping track of events, Activision’s 2022 premium title had created a record-breaking milestone upon its global debut. Infinity Ward’s sequel to 2019’s rebooted Modern Warfare turned out so big, that it ended up becoming the fastest game in Call of Duty series’ history to make $1 billion. To be precise, it managed to reach this figure in just ten days. While doing so, it also beat a decade-old record of the classic Black Ops II from Treyarch, which had earned a billion dollars in fifteen days.
But now, all eyes will be on this year’s upcoming installment. The game will have a lot to prove to the entire COD community. Given the current circumstances of fans not liking Activision’s games due to numerous reasons, Modern Warfare III will have to restore their faith once again in the long-running saga.
