Activision Opening New Studio In Montreal To Work On Call of Duty

gamerant.com:

Activision seems to be taking multiple measures to ensure that the next few iterations of the Call of Duty franchise are of the highest quality. The company has now opened a new studio for one of its subsidiary companies in Montreal that seems to be entirely dedicated to working on the Activision series.

The company seems to now be moving past at least some of its bevy of recent legal issues, as Activision seems to have been able to reach a settlement for its sexual harassment lawsuit. The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission came to an agreement with the company regarding a settlement agreement of $18 million. Unfortunately, this settlement does not regard Activision's other high-profile sexual harassment lawsuit, which was filed by California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing, as the department is yet to agree on a settlement figure.

It seems as though Activision is keen to move past these lawsuits and continue normal operations by investing a lot of its resources into the Call of Duty franchise. Just recently, Activision announced that it would be opening a new studio in Montreal for Beenox, a subsidiary company that has worked on various Call of Duty projects in the past. This time it seems as though the new studio will be at least partially dedicated to working on mobile projects for the company, such as the upcoming Call of Duty: Warzone mobile port.

Another rumor has also been doing the rounds regarding the company stating that Call of Duty may be creating its own subscription service. While it's unknown if this move is related to that rumor, some fans are not pleased with the idea due to the yearly cost being rumored to be around $70.
