Call Of Duty Will No Longer Do Back-To-Back Black Ops Or Modern Warfare Games

"Activision is making a major strategic shift with the Call of Duty series that will affect it for years to come. Following the less-than-stellar response to Black Ops 7, the franchise will no longer get back-to-back entries in the same sub-series. This applies not only to Black Ops, but also to Modern Warfare. "We will no longer do back-to-back releases of Modern Warfare or Black Ops games," Activision said in the official announcement."

""The reasons are many, but the main one is to ensure we provide an absolutely unique experience each and every year." Alongside this announcement, Activision promised "meaningful, not incremental" innovation for the series' future. It didn't specify exactly what this would mean, instead stressing it would share more "when the time is right." Black Ops 7 will still be getting the seasonal support players have come to expect from the series, however."

Activision will stop producing back-to-back entries in the Modern Warfare and Black Ops sub-series to ensure each annual Call of Duty release offers a distinct experience. The company cited many reasons and emphasized providing an absolutely unique experience each year. Activision promised "meaningful, not incremental" innovation for the series' future but did not provide specific details. Black Ops 7 will continue to receive seasonal support, and a free trial for multiplayer and Zombies will begin next week alongside a Double XP weekend. Activision said it "won't rest until Black Ops 7 earns its place as one of the best Black Ops games we've ever made." The PC version of Black Ops 7 holds a 67 on Metacritic.
