Activision Blizzard will release the newest installment in its “Call of Duty” series on schedule despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, a move many game publishers including EA and Sony are looking to follow as quarantine measures continue.
Activision’s forthcoming “Call of Duty 2” title doesn’t have a specific release date yet — but the company said it remains on track for a 2020 launch.
“We still expect to deliver a robust slate of content over the remainder of the year,” Activision chief operating officer Daniel Alegre said during the company’s May 5 earnings call. “This includes the next premium release of ‘Call of Duty 2’, titles based on library (intellectual property) from Activision… regional testing for new mobile titles, and ongoing live operations across our key franchises.”
