Activision President Talks About the Future of Call of Duty
During a recent interview with GamesBeat, Activision’s president, Rob Kostic, reflected on the success and future of the Call of Duty franchise. He emphasized the importance of learning from past games and addressing any weaknesses in future releases. As a result, the company places great importance on sticking to their release schedule.
Long-Term Planning at Activision
Kostic revealed, “We are constantly in the planning stage, especially in the long-term planning stage. Right now we have games planned through 2027 that we’re currently working on. Moreover, I recognize that we have learned from the release of each chapter, trying to eliminate less successful and less valued aspects of the community in future games.”
He also acknowledged the popularity of the Modern Warfare and Black Ops franchises. While games like the original Sledgehammer WWII have performed well, Kostic highlighted the importance of delivering unique experiences in different game eras. He stressed that weapons play a crucial role in shaping the storytelling and tone of Call of Duty games.
Kostic noted, “When you’re designing chapters set in the future, you’ll definitely have more flexibility when it comes to weapons. For example, in Black Ops we have a lot of freedom because it’s a new war. There’s a lot of creativity in Black Ops, which makes it a lot of fun for the developers. And the audience appreciates the originality and freshness inherent in the series.”
