Developer Infinity Ward will release "Call of Duty" 2016, as announced today.
In its company's earnings report today, Activision affirmed the news that Infinity Ward will head the next "Call of Duty" in 2016.
Activision Blizzard unveiled $4.62 billion in revenues, a drop in comparison to its $4.81 billion earned in the 2014 calendar year.
Activision hardly believes that "Call of Duty" title to be released this year will earn the same amounts of sales as the "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" released last year; however, the "COD" franchise is anticipating an amazing earnings year-over-year due to its downloadable content launches.
Infinity Ward has worked on "Call of Duty: Ghosts" and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" franchises, and for this year, it is currently unknown what "COD" series will be released.
The release of the next installment will be announced on Twitter, where Activision employs a three-year rotation cycle amidst their three studios, as confirmed by the COD developers.
Activision has described "Call of Duty" 2016 as "innovative," with Infinity Ward producing lastly the 2013's "Call of Duty: Ghosts." Although no further details about "Call of Duty: Ghosts" have been recently unveiled as of this time, some fans are anticipating that the next installment of "Call of Duty" may be "Call of Duty: Ghosts 2."
Unless a new installment in the series will be unveiled, "Modern Warfare 4" will likely be the most candidate for release in 2016, which is one of the most renowned in the COD sequel. Many gaming enthusiasts are hoping to see all games on the Xbox One's compatibility program.
Infinity Ward speaks about having the COD game heading into space, with former producer Mark Rubin quoted as saying in 2013 "Yeah, it really makes sense. I will not count it out."
"Everything's right on the table. Whenever there's a new game, we start right on the table. If we think it's rightful to go combating over Jupiter, so why not," he added.
However, he went on to explain that the "COD" gameplay mechanics, like killstreaks and grenades, will only work inside a space station.
