According to a Bloomberg article, several Activision executives would like to slow down the pace of
Call of Duty
releases so that they no longer release a new episode every year but every x years.
Nothing would be acted at the moment.
However, the poor sales of the last episode,
Call of Duty Vanguard
and the overall figures on the decline of the franchise would have led the publisher to question its strategy.
These statements come after the announcement of the takeover of Activision-Blizzard by Microsoft, which should be finalized in 2023.
Restructuring
The future owner of the group has already said that he would probably make changes to the publishing strategy and would particularly like to see some of Activision's studios revisit forgotten franchises.
Currently, five studios are working on the development of
Call of Duty
.
In turn, they follow one another to develop the episodes of the series.
Infinity Ward is currently working on developing a potential
Modern Warfare 2
.
Treyarch focused on developing
Black Ops
, while Sledgehammer signed on to several spin-offs.
High Moon and Raven Software regularly support several aspects of the games.
