The company expect to bring it home by 13th October.

The Call of Duty franchise is a massive one. Over the years, we have seen new installments released into the marketplace, and it’s since become an annual release game. There is a brand new Call of Duty game to get excited about each year. This trend is not slowing down, and while some games have been deemed to be a step backward, the team at Activision continues to monitor and plan out projects that they hope will continue to push the series to new heights. In fact, it looks like their planning tactics for the franchise have them set all the way through 2027.
