A reader is upset that Activision is still not making anything other than Call Of Duty games and suggests it stops the yearly sequels. Are you a fan of video games ? Do you yearn for a new one to play? More specifically, a first person shooter? Well, I have some good news for you. Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 is coming later this year for PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series X/S, and Windows – as well as previous generation consoles.
It’s the next chapter for the Call Of Duty series, since its inception in 2003, and with 425 million copies sold, it’s one of the most popular and successful franchises of all time, standing alongside Mario and Pokémon. And for this reader, it needs to go on hiatus. Preferably for a few years, instead of one.
Call Of Duty is one of the few franchises which continues to release a new major instalment on a yearly basis. When you think of video game series which see annual releases, what comes to mind? F1? FIFA ? NBA 2K? If so, do you spot a recurring theme? Yes, they’re all related to sports. Annual releases for sports games are nothing new.
It’s been happening for years now and most likely will continue, as a result of exclusive contracts which mandate studios such as EA and Take-Two to deliver a yearly release. But it does raise an interesting question. Why can’t these developers just release one game and build upon it with yearly DLC packs to reflect the start of a new sport season? Not only would it prompt more players to buy the game it woul.
