In the wake of the announcement of Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard, one of the biggest questions from players has been if the latter’s signature game franchise “Call of Duty” would still be playable on Sony consoles.
Jason Schreier of Bloomberg has reported that sources with knowledge of the deal have indicated to him that the next three entries in the series are still set to arrive on PlayStation including the 2022 title being developed by Infinity Ward, Treyarch’s 2023 title, and a full-blown sequel of the Battle Royale title “Call of Duty Warzone” due in 2023.
These releases will reportedly come as part of existing deals made between Sony and Activision before the Microsoft acquisition. Schreier also indicates that higher-level employees have discussed the long-running FPS series moving away from yearly releases much Ubisoft did with its “Assassin’s Creed” franchise.
It is unknown how Microsoft will approach the games that follow those listed above but Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard is expected to officially close in 2023.
