Activision To Release Remasters Of Older Games And A New Call Of Duty This Year

Games that you may have cherished back in the day by Activision will come out in current year as a remaster, remake, or a new IP according to a new report. And like clockwork, a new Call of Duty game will drop sometime later this year.

During Activision’s Q4 2019 financial results, it is said that gamers can expect a “lot of stuff” to drop this year from the company headed up by Bobby Kotick. I’m not sure what these remasters or remakes consist of, but you can expect more Call of Duty.

Yes, more Call of Duty will come this year. If last year’s edition wasn’t enough for you, the next entry is due out later this year, which probably means a Q3 or Q4 debut.

All of the above information comes from DSOG, wherein the site makes mention of the forthcoming game being handled by Treyarch. In other words, we’ll have to wait and see whether that’s true or not.

While we wait, it is said that Kotick indicates more remasters and remakes are in the works after the success of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro remakes.

In addition to the above, Kotick notes that plans to release more remasters and remakes will be announced later this year.

Nevertheless, older titles will be succeeded by new IPs in said realm, which means that an older Activision game might not see a remaster or remake but will continue through a sequel/reboot.

With that said, Kotick’s take on older games getting an “update” lies below:

“Stay tuned for some future announcements, but beyond pure remasters there are a lot of opportunities now to innovate and think about totally new content within these IPs.”

I’m sure E3 2020 and Gamescom 2020 will bring forth more info, but until then, Activision this year is set to bring more remasters, remakes, and sequels/reboots of older IPs accompanied by more Call of Duty.
