In its 2021 annual report, Activision Blizzard says that last year’s premium title, Call of Duty: Vanguard, didn’t meet “our expectations.”
In its recent quarterly financial report, Activision Blizzard revealed that Call of Duty: Vanguard had “lower premium sales” with net bookings for the franchise seeing a year-on-year decline.
As for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward claims it will be the “most advanced experience” in the franchise’s history.
Both issues are “certainly” being addressed with this year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, developed by Infinity Ward (which is also working on the follow-up to Warzone).
