In an industry that is constantly in flux, constantly changing, Call of Duty has managed to cement itself as an annual favourite. It’s Dinner For One with guns, a traditional buffet of action that shows no signs of slowing down. Over the years, everyone knew exactly what to expect from Activision’s money-making franchise: A weekend of story, sixty frames of action at any given time and plenty of multiplayer to keep your thumbs busy. This year, things are different.

Two seperate reports paint a grim picture for Call of Duty's single-player campaigns, stating that Black Ops 4 will do away with the mode and replace it with a Battle Royale component.

Rumours have circulated for some time now that the next Call of Duty, the one coming this year from Treyarch, is Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Those rumours are true.

Last year’s World War 2 incarnation was Call of Duty’s flair for the cinematic grounded in a gameplay format from another decade. It was…surprisingly good! And a taste of what’s to come, as the 2018’s entry in the franchise will go deep undercover in the murkiest of special operations once again.

According to Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, a lot of thought goes into each new incarnation of Call of Duty.

Blizzard received some assistance from Treyarch to help improve the shooting mechanics on Overwatch.

The first proper map pack for Black Ops 3 is out now on PlayStation 4. Got 9GB's to spare?

Activision is claiming that their annual iteration of their shoot first, shoot later again franchise is the best-selling game worldwide.
