'Call of Duty' 2024 to Still Release for PS4, Xbox One
Insider Gaming's latest report claims that Activision Blizzard would continue to release games for the PS4 and Xbox One, focusing on the "Call of Duty" franchise titles.
There is a planned AAA-rated game from Activision which remains under the codename "Cerberus," the next franchise installment that would feature an original story and not a remake.
In the past transition of consoles, from PS3 to PS4, and Xbox 360 to Xbox One, Activision Blizzard went on to release games in four years before becoming exclusive to the next-gen.
When applied to the present, it may mean that Activision would do it from 2020 until 2024, before gatekeeping these games on specific consoles only.
Next-Gen Exclusivity Not Yet a Thing for Activision
As per ComicBook Gaming, while there are no indications yet from the "Call of Duty" franchise regarding their exclusive releases to current-gen consoles, it does not mean that there is a guarantee for future releases to still arrive on older gaming machines.
There is a growing concern regarding this transition, especially as it considers the old consoles' capabilities to run games, making it a hindrance for "COD" games to bring better quality to its gamers in the next-gen platforms.
