According to new reports, Activision has changed its mind and we will get a new paid Call of Duty installment this year after all. The rumors also reveal planned beta test and release dates, as well as target platforms.
There are some interesting rumors online about the next installment of Call of Duty. They sound plausible, as their source is the known insider Tom Henderson, who has made a very good name for himself in terms of leaks about the brand.
The devs intend to organize two stages of beta testing for CoD 2023 and provide early access to the story campaign. According to Henderson, the following dates are currently planned:
Date: | Event: | Hardware platforms: |
October 6-10, 2023. | Beta 1 | PS4/PS5 |
October 12-16, 2023. | Beta 2 | PS4/PS5/XONE/XSX/PC |
November 2, 2023. | early access to the story campaign | PS4/PS5/XONE/XSX/PC |
November 10, 2023. | game launch | PS4/PS5/XONE/XSX/PC |
Recall that according to earlier rumors, in 2023 Activision was to focus on developing CoD: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. This raises the question of whether, by chance, the second of these games did not do worse than expected, and therefore the publisher decided that it would be better not to give up on a new installment of the series in 2023.
