Report: PlayStation to Receive the Next Few Call of Duty Games

comingsoon.net:

Microsoft’s deal to acquire Activision has left a lot of questions on the table in regards to what games would still appear on PlayStation consoles, if any. Activision CEO Bobby Kotick recently said that he was assured that Activision’s games would be on as “many devices as possible,” but that still wasn’t concrete. According to a new report, this includes at least the next three games.

Bloomberg’s report states that Activision had already committed to make the next three installments on PlayStation consoles prior to the deal being made public. This includes the 2022 and 2023 games as well as, which is also currently slated for 2023. 2022’s has been strongly rumored to be Infinity Ward’s. Treyarch is said to be working on 2023’s mainline title. The acquisition is also expected to close sometime within the next six to 18 months, which is likely why this report only covers the near-term entries.

Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer recently tweeted it was their “intent to honor all existing agreements upon acquisition of Activision Blizzard and [their] desire to keep on PlayStation.” However, the tweet was vague enough to be open to some form of interpretation. This report adds some more context to said tweet.

However, it is unclear how Microsoft will act after that third title as it will presumably have control on what to do with the series from then on. Activision has reportedly mulled over the idea of skipping annualized games, which is another aspect that could have an unknown role down the line for the franchise’s future, or lack thereof, on Sony’s consoles.

Microsoft has honored previous contracts before, as showcased by the Bethesda acquisition. came out on PlayStation 5 (and PC) and is still slated to release on PS5
