Activision Blizzard's 'Call of Duty' Expands
It has been a massive year for Activision Blizzard as this 2024, the company will complete its two releases of the first-person shooter action title, beginning with the March-released "Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile" that has been long awaited by fans. It will follow up this mobile game with a title for the PC and consoles, and Activision Blizzard is looking to introduce a new game under the "Black Ops" series.
The past years saw the "Call of Duty" franchise remake two of its games successively under the "Modern Warfare" wave, and while it was a well-received venture for Activision Blizzard, it left fans wondering about the other series. Earlier this year, ABK came in with a surprising transition to its espionage and stealth-focused plot when it introduced "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6."
Activision Blizzard is expanding more of what "Call of Duty" has to offer the public with new experiences coming in "Black Ops 6," introducing a new gaming experience that moves away from the previous formula. In less than a week, "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6" will begin allowing players to pre-load the game on all platforms, and four days after that, gamers can get a taste of what is coming to the franchise.
