Activision Blizzard during the fourth quarter and 2019 financial results conference call announced a new Call of Duty game will be released in the fourth quarter of 2020. This should not be a surprise to anyone as the franchise has seen annual releases for over a decade.
The company expects a strong year for Call of Duty with a new season that starts next week and plans for additional surprises after that.
Activision also announced it has several remastered and reimagined games in development that will be revealed later this year.
Blizzard announced World of Warcraft Classic will be getting new content, as well as other games from the company. Diablo Immortal will enter the testing phase in the middle of 2020. Publisher King will be investing in new titles for 2020.
Activision Blizzard expects revenue of $6.45 billion in 2020 fiscal year. This is relatively flat compared to 2019.
Activision Blizzard earnings call:
- Next Call of Duty planned for Q4 2020. (Please be surprised)
- WoW Classic will get new content. Same as other Blizzard games.
- Diablo Immortal planned to enter testing in the middle of the year.
- King will invest in new titles for 2020.

There was a rumour a little while ago that CoD would be going for a more Fornite like update format. Release a game called 'Modern Warfare', cashing in on the name, then one called 'Black Ops', to get in on that naming structure. Both games would exist at the same time and get constant updates with microtransations to back prop them up. Then there would be a Battle Royale developed by Ravensoft which would be F2P. Rumours mind you. But I can see this but even if it's big Fortnite and it's lack of updates have really put people off the game of later. Escape from Tarkov is the new 'to stream' game on twitch, after all for many FPS players.
I'd like to think this one might come with 2 discs, but I won't hold my breath. If not, they should launch it in Nov and call it COD:NNN (No Nut November).
