Call of Duty 2022 Reveal Date Could Be In April, According to Leak
A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleges the company has engaged in abuse, discrimination, and retaliation against its female employees. Activision Blizzard has denied the allegations. The full details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being updated as new information becomes available.
This year’s Call of Duty game could be revealed as early as this month, according to a new leak. The next entry in the long-running first-person shooter franchise set for release sometime this year may be its last game for a couple of years as it’s currently rumored that Call of Duty won’t have a release in 2023. The break in the series’ usual annual release schedule is reportedly due to the poor sales of its latest entry, Call of Duty: Vanguard, which was released in November of 2021.
Call of Duty: Vanguard unfortunately not only sold less than its predecessor, 2020’s Black Ops Cold War, but it also had fewer players in the same time period. The lackluster performance of Call of Duty: Vanguard may potentially be attributed to its choice of setting as well as other issues, such as a lack of content for its Zombies game mode. Other games that were released in the same quarter may have also led to the lower interest in Vanguard alongside the slowly growing fatigue for Call of Duty games in general. Vanguard’s low sales may have even led to Activision deciding to release Call of Duty 2022 early.
