Activision Won't Do Back-to-Back Black Ops, Modern Warfare Games Going Forward

""We will no longer do back-to-back releases of Modern Warfare or Black Ops games," the company said in the post. "The reasons are many, but the main one is to ensure we provide an absolutely unique experience each and every year. "We will drive innovation that is meaningful, not incremental. While we aren't sharing those plans today, we look forward to doing so when the time is right.""

""To be clear, the future of Call of Duty is very strong and we believe our best days are ahead of us given the depth and talent of our development teams," Activision said. "We have been building the next era of Call of Duty, and it will deliver precisely on what you want along with some surprises that push the Franchise and the genre forward. We look forward to welcoming you in, listening to you, and moving forward together.""

Activision is changing its Call of Duty release strategy and will no longer produce back-to-back Modern Warfare or Black Ops titles. The primary reason is to ensure each annual release offers an absolutely unique experience and to prioritize meaningful innovation rather than incremental changes. The decision follows the underwhelming launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, which became the first consecutive Black Ops release after Black Ops 6. Activision states the franchise's future is strong, says teams are building a "next era" to deliver player expectations and surprises, and thanks fans while acknowledging past shortcomings.
