Some people believe 2019 Call of Duty news coming during NFL Draft, but Activision is not listed as ad buyer

Earlier this week, Activision showcased the new 2019 Call of Duty game to some NFL Draft prospects in an event in Nashville, TN, including Riley Ridley, and more.

With the NFL draft players checking out the new game, some people have been speculating that Call of Duty 2019 could be revealed during the NFL Draft this weekend, which is set to air on ABC and ESPN from Thursday through Saturday.

Variety released a new article today discussing the ad buyers for the event, stating that this is one of the biggest ad buy events for Disney ever thanks to the NFL Draft airing on ABC and ESPN, both owned Disney properties. Variety has mentioned that the NFL Draft has new ad partners for this year, and their post is not mentioning Activision as a partner.

Variety mentions the following new ad partners, with no mention of Activision Blizzard or any of Activision’s media partners:

Advertisers in the Draft broadcasts this year will include Home Depot and Goodyear, with Nissan, Mercedes, Metro PCS and Old Navy among those who will support the ABC broadcast. Marriott Courtyard will be a presenting sponsor on ESPN – the only hotelier to advertiser on the program – and Home Depot will be a presenting sponsor on ABC.

The latest rumors for the 2019 game is that the title is set to be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, with Eurogamer sources mentioning that is the title.

Activision has yet to officially announce any details on the title, as many fans are getting anxious waiting for the reveal.

We’ll update as we get the latest information on the 2019 game.

New Call Of Duty Game Is Already Playable, Despite No Announcement

2019’s Call of Duty game is still yet to be announced, but some members of the public have seemingly already played it. A select few American athletes have shared images across social media of them playing this year’s game–whatever it might be.

Riley Ridley, Tajae Sharpe, and N’Keal Harry have each posted pictures of themselves playing the new shooter at what looks to be an official event, while All Games Delta has more images. We’ve reached out to Activision to verify this isn’t some elaborate ruse from the American footballers.

The publisher is yet to announce this year’s Call of Duty. Traditionally, each game in the series gets announced in the May before it eventually launches, so we might be just around the corner from Activision lifting the lid on this year’s game.

We do know it’s Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare developer Infinity Ward working on the upcoming shooter. Infinity Ward also created the Modern Warfare sub-series, as well as Call of Duty: Ghosts. There are rumors this year’s title is Modern Warfare 4, but this has not yet been confirmed. That fits with the developer release cycle that has been established.

Activision has confirmed, however, that 2019’s Call of Duty game will include a single-player campaign, despite last year’s Black Ops 4 doing away with the traditional story mode. Activision also confirmed the new game will have a “huge expansive multiplayer world,” as well as “fun co-op gameplay.”

Call of Duty: Mobile revealed for Android and iOS

Activision and Tencent are bringing Call of Duty to mobile devices in the West with Call of Duty: Mobile, a free-to-play game that will draw inspiration from the Black Ops and Modern Warfare franchises.

Call of Duty: Mobile is being developed by Tencent’s Timi studio for Android and iOS devices. Activision promises competitive multiplayer modes from the Call of Duty franchise, including Search and Destroy and Free-For-All, on series staple maps like Nuketown, Crash, and Hijacked. Call of Duty: Mobile players will “earn and unlock classic Call of Duty characters, weapons, scorestreaks and other gear to equip and customize their loadouts,” Activision said in a press release.

A peek at those multiplayer modes, maps, and character customization can be seen in the trailer above. Teases for future modes and content, including zombies, are tucked in at the end.

Call of Duty: Mobile was revealed during today’s Unity keynote at GDC. The game will offer a “definitive” Call of Duty experience on mobile, Activision VP of mobile Chris Plummer said in a release. “Together with the amazing team at Tencent, we’re bringing together a collection of the most beloved maps, competitive modes, familiar characters and signature weapons from across this storied franchise into one epic experience for the first time on mobile,” Plummer said.

Players can register for Call of Duty: Mobile at the game’s official website. A public beta is coming this summer in “select regions,” but an official release date was not announced.

New Call Of Duty Game Confirmed For Mobile, Teases Battle Royale

Activision is bringing a new Call of Duty game to mobile devices, and now what appears to be the first trailer for the title has come online. The game, which appears to be simply titled Call of Duty: Mobile, is a free-to-play game that promises “heart-pounding, adrenaline-fueled action of Call of Duty with you wherever you go.”

The game features “multiple game modes” across a number of different maps, including popular ones like Nuketown and Crash. According to Activision, the game is “optimised for mobile,” but it’s not exactly clear what that means in practice. At the end of the video, it appears Activision is teasing a battle royale mode, but it’s not confirmed at this stage.

Call of Duty: Mobile also includes weapons and characters from previous Call of Duty games, including Black Ops and Modern Warfare. However, it’s described as a standalone game that is not directly connected to any previous entry.

Activision is making Call of Duty: Mobile with “high-end” phones in mind, but the studio is also working to allow it to be “broadly accessible for as many other devices as well.”

Call of Duty: Mobile is coming to Android and iOS, and you can pre-register now. Signing up gets you access to the opportunity to earn in-game rewards and learn about upcoming beta tests, which are set to begin later this year.

Last year, Activision announced a new Call of Duty mobile game for China that it was developing alongside Tencent. This is that same game, developed by Tencent’s studio Timi, but now it’s being expanded to other regions like North America, South America, Europe, and other places.

Call of Duty: Mobile isn’t the only new Call of Duty title coming this year. This year’s mainline instalment is on the way, and it’s expected to feature a campaign mode which is notable since 2018’s Black Ops 4 left it out. The game is rumoured to be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from developer Infinity Ward, but this is not confirmed.

Modern Warfare Remastered Did Call of Duty Loot Boxes The Right Way

Image: Activision

Since Modern Warfare Remastered is free this month on PlayStation Plus, I decided to revisit some classic Call of Duty. This remake of 2007’s groundbreaking shooter is reminding me how a Call of Duty game can make a loot box system feel more rewarding and less like a money grab.

It’s no secret that as of late, Call of Duty’s Supply Drops have been a nightmare of poor microtransaction choices that have left players feeling either hustled for desired cosmetics or at a disadvantage on the playing field.

2016’s Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, which initially launched with Modern Warfare Remastered bundled inside its special editions, gave us overpowered weapons that mostly had to be obtained by the luck of Supply Drops. Infinite Warfare didn’t have the cosmetics-only approach of the later games, and players could easily end up losing gunfights to more powerful versions of the gun equipped in their own loadout. Some gun variants could be crafted through currency earned by grinding the game, but there were few options compared to the abundance achieved through the power of luck in Supply Drops.

The next year, Call of Duty: WWII took away the frustrations of stat-based variants, but the game became so flooded with low-end items that the odds were incredibly stacked against you. Sure, you could easily earn Supply Drops by playing and completing daily and weekly challenges, but you still probably weren’t going to get the items you wanted. I was banking about 25-30 Supply Drops a week from doing challenges during WWII’s special events, which earned me more unwanted reticles and pistol grips than anything else.

Currently, in Black Ops 4, there’s a Fortnite-style tier system for earning gear by simply playing, but there’s a lot of junk items thrown in amongst the top-tier skins and weapons DLC. And now, sought-after items from the latest “Grand Heist” event are hidden by the luck of Supply Drops.

There is a way for loot boxes and satisfying rewards to coexist fairly, and Modern Warfare Remastered proves it. The game contains cosmetics as well as new DLC guns, but there aren’t any overpowered variant weapons, and you can actually choose what items you want to work towards unlocking.

It doesn’t feel completely fair to have DLC weapons added to the grind, but they are all obtainable either by Supply Drop luck or through enough playtime to unlock the desired collection. There will probably always be players who drop cash on COD Points to get more Supply Drops and unlock items faster, but Modern Warfare Remastered’s system allows everyone to have the items within reach without needing to drop any extra dough.

Separate from COD Points, which cost actual money, there are two currencies easily earned while playing Modern Warfare Remastered. Depot Credits are awarded simply by playing matches, and they can be used to purchase Supply Drops. I typically earn 1-4 Credits per match, and it costs 10 credits for a common and 20 for a rare drop. Parts are the currency used to buy DLC items, and they’re earned through rare Supply Drops or awarded in place of a duplicate item within a Supply Drop.

Modern Warfare Remastered has over 1500 pieces of DLC. Every DLC item is a part of a Collection, and each item has a Parts value. All of the DLC Collections are easily displayed for you to determine which items are worth your time to unlock, and you can calculate how much it will cost to unlock them with Parts. Some Collections are just crammed with fancy gun reticles, so I don’t even worry with those sets. Personally, I prefer to focus on the ones that unlock pretty camos or new weapons, and it’s nice to have the choice.

Of course, this isn’t a perfect system. Casual players are most hindered by the sheer grind of unlocking all the smaller cosmetic items in a Collection to get to the weapons. The system could easily be improved by adding in extra ways to earn Supply Drops, especially combining WWII’s style of daily and weekly challenges to help out players with limited game time.

Regardless, Modern Warfare Remastered’s system makes loot boxes feel less dirty. I’d much rather work specifically towards items I want than earn a bunch of junk.

Modern Warfare 2 Remastered rating suggests it’s next in line

PEGI may have taken down a listing for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered but its brief appearance, plus the swift removal, probably means it’s on the way. Activision has yet to announce any such thing, though.

It doesn’t make any sense that it would show up now. Activision used Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered as a pack-in incentive for 2016’s Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (much to the displeasure of some fans). The next year, it launched as a standalone release on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One. And for March, it’s available to PlayStation Plus subscribers.

It’s more likely that a remastered Modern Warfare 2 would be part whatever the next Call of Duty is — many expect it to be Modern Warfare 4 as it’s Infinity Ward’s turn with the series this year, the last two games were part of the series’ World War II and Black Ops heritage, and the futuristic timeline pretty much ended with Infinite Warfare.

2019 is also the 10th anniversary of Modern Warfare 2’s launch, “No Russian” foofaraw and all. Cole Hamels is still in the league, too, maybe he’ll come back to promote it with another droll P.S.A.

Activision usually announces the next Call of Duty in mid-spring; WWII was revealed in mid-April 2017 and Black Ops 4 got a showcase in May 2018. So we’ll probably find out what’s up then.

PlayStation Plus offers The Witness, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered in March

The Witness and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered are the lone free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers in March, Sony announced Wednesday.

Modern Warfare Remastered is Raven Software’s upgraded version of Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare; the remaster of the 2007 first-person shooter launched in 2016. That was the same year that Thekla released The Witness, a puzzle game from the mind of Jonathan Blow. Both of them will be available for free from March 5 to April 1 on PlayStation Plus. In the meantime, the games for February — including Hitman: The Complete First Season and For Honor — are still available.

March will be the first month since Sony started offering free games to Plus subscribers in the summer of 2010 that the lineup of titles does not contain PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Vita games. Sony announced a year ago that it planned to drop PS3 and Vita games from the monthly free lineups, saying, “Many of our fans are playing on the PS4 platform, with the increasingly vast number of PS4s in homes around the world.”

Until this point, Sony has typically offered six free games every month — two each on PS3, PS4, and Vita (notwithstanding cross-buy functionality). However, the company is not raising the number of PS4 titles to compensate for the loss of games from the older platforms. Sony did improve its PlayStation Plus offering this month in one way: The company increased the storage for cloud saves to 100 GB from 10 GB.

Call Of Duty Is Best Selling Console Game Franchise In The US For Tenth Year In A Row

The NPD Group has announced that Call of Duty was the best-selling console game franchise in 2018 in the US, marking the tenth year in a row that the series has earned the title. In celebration, Activision published a blog post that highlighted the best Call of Duty moments from the past decade, as well as thank fans for playing.

“We’ve been honored over these past 10 years to see the community come together, showcasing some truly incredible moments,” Activision wrote. “Whether it’s jaw-dropping skills, frenetic clips or just some funny experiences, we’re honored to serve the most passionate community around.” The blog post ended with promises that there would be more Call of Duty to expect in 2019, but no exact details were shared.

Activision’s 10-year streak started in 2009 with Modern Warfare 2, before moving on to Black Ops in 2010 and Modern Warfare 2 in 2011. Each following game’s setting would take place in the near- to far future after that, before culminating in battles that take place in space in 2016’s Infinite Warfare. 2017’s WWII brought the series back to its World War roots, before Black Ops 4 once again moved the franchise back to the near-future. Black Ops 4 is the first Call of Duty game to ditch a traditional single-player campaign. Instead, the game included Blackout, a battle royale mode, that has proven to be very popular.

Again, these games weren’t necessarily the top selling games in the US during the year of their release–although some of them could have been. Call of Duty, in general, has just been the best selling franchise on consoles in the US for the past 10 years.

If the established rotation for which developer is assigned for each Call of Duty continues in 2019, then Infinity Ward is up next. Although it has not been confirmed as a Call of Duty teaser, a tweet by Infinity Ward senior communication manager Ashton Williams hints that the next game might be Modern Warfare 4. No concrete details have been announced for 2019’s Call of Duty yet, though.

Also according to the NPD report, Red Dead Redemption 2 was the best-selling game of 2018 in the US, followed by Call of Duty: Black Ops IV, NBA 2K19, Madden NFL 19, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Far Cry 5, God of War, Monster Hunter: World, and Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. This data does not include digital PC sales, though, however.
