No word on how long the deal is for, but my guess would be 10 years.
Pull a Titanfall to Apex(bad example but you know what I mean) now you don’t really have a CoD franchise. It’s like Battlefield is no longer the Battlefield we remember, just the names. They can just spin up another franchise “from the legendary CoD developers, blah blah…”, BUT it’s not CoD.
I’m so ready for the next Doot of Cally
Bring on the next Coot of Dally!
Honestly the franchise is probably due for a shakeup at this point anyway. You can only release the same game over again each year for so long. I used to be a diehard Battlefield fan but have only played maybe 10 minutes worth of 2142 after owning it for 6 months or more.
I’ve been saying this about COD for forever. The thing is, they shake it up just enough to stay relevant. They’ll remake an old title, add BR, mess with movement. If anything, FIFA and Madden are enough proof that you don’t need to change the formula. As long as it continues to print money, nothing will change.
Good thing Microsoft is known for taking popular IPs and making them better and not beating a dead horse until they shrug their shoulders.
