Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty will not be skipping 2023, contrary to prior reports, with a full new premium title allegedly launching in November– but what will 2024 look like for the first person shooter franchise? Next year’s Call of Duty game has been previously mentioned in some leaks, with Treyarch reportedly developing the game, and according to a new report by Insider Gaming, there’s a chance that it ends up as a cross-gen title.
As per the report, documents emerging from Activision data breaches include mentions of Call of Duty 2024 also coming to last-gen consoles. Though plans may have internally changed since then, the report claims there’s a possibility that the shooter ends up launching for PS4 and Xbox One as well, even though we’ll be roughly four years into the current console generation by the time the game launches. The report notes that with all Call of Duty games now running on the same engine, cross-gen releases would be easier for developers to handle.
Microsoft recently also confirmed that should its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard go through, it will also be bringing Call of Duty games to Nintendo platforms. It remains to be seen what form that will take, but one would assume that 2024’s instalment will be part of those plans.
Of course, this leaked information isn’t necessarily set in stone, and as mentioned previously, the references found in the leak could possibly be outdated. We’ll be keeping an eye out for more details on the matter, so stay tuned for further updates.
