Looking forward to seeing how that plays out this fall.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. Warzone was absolutely the right move for the market, and may in fact prove to be the last truly massively successful battle royale we see in the space.Ĭall of Duty is immortal, but what it looks like as a franchise has change irrevocably with Warzone. So I would not be surprised to see Activision gain a lot more than they lose even if Warzone does siphon some box sales away from a game like Cold War. That’s $60 a year right there just from Warzone, in addition to any money players might spend on operators and blueprints and such. Warzone seasons last around two months, and the battle pass costs $10.
And past that, Warzone may be free to play, but it’s absolutely a revenue stream all the same. By definition, if Warzone players can get a Black Ops “refresh” of the mode, that’s enough for them to just stick with what they already like without bothering to pay for a new game.Īnd yet I’m not sure how much it matters in the end.Ĭall of Duty remains such a strong franchise, the bestselling game of the year, every year there isn’t a new Grand Theft Auto out, so it can certainly afford sales dips. I think the answer, to a certain extent, has to be yes.
If Warzone is the game that most Call of Duty players want to be playing over the traditional campaign/multiplayer/zombie structure of a full $60 fall release, will that hurt sales?
