Hat man mitbekommen wann die Pläne von nur ein großes Update zu einem neuen Vollpreisspiel gewechselt sind?
glaube schreier (war schließlich die original quelle für das gerücht) ist nie darauf wirklich eingegangen, wieso sich da die pläne geändert haben.
auf der anderen seite... activision wollte sicherlich so oder so vollpreis dafür verlangen und das geht eben mit einer "neuen" zahl hinter dem titel besser, als wenn es sich dabei nur um eine erweiterung für das vorjährige call of duty handelt. jedenfalls auf der verpackung.
Activision’s goal is for the new Call of Duty to feel like a standalone, full-price release and also an extension of Modern Warfare II, said people familiar with the project. The current plan is for the game to carry over maps and modes from last year’s shooter, the people said, although they cautioned that plans may change again between now and the release this fall.
But in early 2022 the company decided to delay the next big Treyarch game, pushing its release from 2023 to 2024 and marking the first time in nearly two decades the franchise would be without a new mainline game, Bloomberg reported. Activision then told Sledgehammer that it would develop a “premium expansion” for Modern Warfare II to help fill the gap, according to the people. Modern Warfare II, which was released in October, became the best-selling video game of 2022.
The expansion was planned to be big, with a single-player campaign and several multiplayer maps, and eventually it morphed into a full game release. Sledgehammer’s new Modern Warfare game — the name is still unclear but will probably not be Modern Warfare III — is now slated for this fall, the people said, declining to be named because they weren’t authorized to speak to the press. Activision spokesperson Neil Wood noted the company has announced that a “premium Call of Duty game” will arrive this year and that they had “nothing new to share.”
