Call of Duty could become exclusive to Xbox and PC as early as 2023.
The news of the purchase of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft for more than 60 billion dollars has given much to talk about recently. One of the most frequently asked questions is thatWhat will be the future of one of the most recognized franchises in the industry: Call of Duty. Especially the debate on whether this saga, belonging to Activision, will become exclusive to Xbox or will continue to appear on Sony consoles. And it seems that the Bloomberg website has been able to investigate more details about the future of Call of Duty, especially about his plans during this 2022 and the next 2023.
At least three more Call of Duty games are coming to PlayStation
Phil Spencer himself declared on the Twitter social network that in principle that The Call of Duty saga was going to continue to arrive on PlayStation consoles. This stems from the previously stated deal between Sony and Activision Blizzard ensuring that games will come to their platform. This agreement, which was signed weeks before Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard, ensures that at least the next three Call of Duty games will come to PlayStation. We can assume that these titles will be the rumored one Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Warzone 2 (which is already in development) and the title that is surely already planned for its arrival in 2023, developed by Treyarch, still without a name.
Also according to an insider named Tom Henderson, these last two mentioned titles would reach exclusively to the new generation, Xbox Series S | X, PlayStation 5 and PC, completely abandoning PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Although it’s just a rumor, we may see this generational leap by looking at how long the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X have been on the market.
It is important to remember that although the purchase of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft has already been published, this will not take place until next year, in 2023. This is why you can be confident that these titles will reach Sony consoles. What is not known, and possibly remains an uncertainty until we see the purchase completed, will be what will happen next of these three titles and if Call of Duty will continue to maintain your posts on both platforms.
According to the source page of the news, Bloomberg, it is suspected that Microsoft seeks to deprive PlayStation of the most emblematic titles of Activision Blizzard in the future, when his contract is already complete, although this contradicts what Phil Spencer previously stated. This could imply that both futures Call of Duty starting in 2023 as other titles, like the recently announced survival game, would only come to Xbox and PC, depriving PlayStation of them and reinforcing the exclusivity of Microsoft’s console Do you think this will be the case or that we will be able to continue seeing Activision Blizzard games on PlayStation after their purchase by Microsoft?
