![]() ![]() Call of Duty 2023: Call of Duty NEXT event Marketing arrangements by Sony typically prevent developers from releasing a game being marketed for Playstation from being released on Game Pass, and it is likely there is a similar clause in the arrangement between Sony and Activision which would prevent COD from showing up on the multi-game subscription service until after the deal expires. Playstation players are also likely to continue receiving early access to betas and extended beta weekends as they have previously in addition to COD remaining on the Playstation platform. Additionally, Microsoft has penned a 10-year commitment to continue bringing Call of Duty to Playstation consoles which was recently accepted by Sony. Players can expect the 20 premium COD titles to continue to be marketed primarily by Playstation. While nothing is impossible, it is highly unlikely that Microsoft will make any moves to dissolve the marketing agreement between Activision and Sony and we can expect the marketing agreement to carry out to completion. Similar to the Bethesda acquisition where Playstation had penned exclusivity deals with Bethesda prior to the acquisition Microsoft honored those contracts and players had to wait for them to come to an end before they could enjoy the likes of Ghostwire Tokyo and Deathloop on Game Pass (and the Xbox platform as a whole.) While Call of Duty is not exclusive to Playstation, Activision and Sony have a marketing agreement in play that will extend until the end of 2024. Maybe in the future, but this upcoming title will not be on Game Pass on Day 1, even if the Activision Blizzard acquisition by Xbox completes before the game’s launch. ![]() The dreaded exclusivity period ended just shy of the release of Call of Duty: Vanguard and players who shifted from Black Ops to Vanguard may have opted to skip trying the mode in its entirety at that point seeing it as a lost cause as any limited time events or rewards were effectively Playstation only. Outbreak was notably locked behind Playstation exclusivity for an entire year following the release of Black Ops Cold War. When it comes to game modes COD 2023 is rumored to have the single player campaign that will build upon the events of Modern Warfare 2 (2022), traditional PvP multiplayer, and a zombies mode based upon Outbreak from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.Ī return to Outbreak for Zombies mode may elicit mixed feelings among Xbox and PC players of the franchise despite the overall opinion that Outbreak was a fresh take on the series’ horde mode. Of course, take anything short of official confirmation with a grain of salt, as things can change rapidly in a game’s pre-reveal era but there are a few things we are expecting to see when COD 2023 is revealed. We don’t even have an official title for COD 2023, but data miners and leakers don’t let that stop them from sharing a deluge of info only to be DMCA’d by Activision in short order. Additionally, Sledgehammer Games’ last Call of Duty entry was considered to be an underperformer for the franchise even as it topped sales charts for the year it was released. This rotation allows each developer 3 years between premium releases, though Sledgehammer would only have 2 between Vanguard and COD 2023 if the rumors are true. Many were surprised to hear of Sledgehammer’s involvement on COD 2023 as the usual developer rotation was Infinity Ward (Modern Warfare sub-series) followed by Treyarch (Black Ops sub-series) followed by Sledgehammer Games. Sledgehammer Games rose to prominence and earned a spot as one of the lead support studios after providing support for Infinity Ward during the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2010) which makes their involvement on COD 2023 feel a little more full circle. That date is not set in stone, however, as Modern Warfare 2 was previously bumped up to October 28 and then surprisingly gave early access to the campaign in addition to the earlier release.ĬOD 2023 is suspected to be developed by Sledgehammer Games-most known for releasing Call of Duty: Vanguard, Call of Duty: WW2, and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. ![]() Call of Duty titles, barring a few rare exceptions, traditionally launch on the second Tuesday of November which would give Call of Duty 2023 a release date of November 10, 2023.
