Call of Duty is reportedly making significant changes to its release cycle.
The future of Call of Duty may look pretty different going forward. Since its inception, Call of Duty has been an annual series. Activision learned that the shooter series is a cash cow and makes for a great holiday gift, so it ensured there'd be a new one on the shelf every November. This worked surprisingly well for quite some time, but the quality did begin to dwindle, particularly when COVID hit and it caused all kinds of issues with the pipeline of these games.
This could be something that is seen more commonly going forward as well, too. According to a new report from Insider Gaming, Call of Duty is expected to change its release schedule. The franchise will reportedly switch from releasing a game every year to every other year, giving extra time to developers to finish their games.
Either way, it sound like it could be a while before it even releases. Treyarch is expected to be the next developer and its game may not release until 2024. If the every other year schedule holds true, Sledgehammer's game will release in 2026. Of course, this could all change. This is just a rumor right now and Xbox's imminent acquisition of Activision could also throw everything for a loop if Microsoft decides to change anything.
