The 'Call of Duty' of 2021 will once again bet on a setting in World War II, according to a fairly reliable leaker.
We are approaching a time when various video game companies will begin to present their novelties for the second half of the year. One of them is Activision, a company that maintains its strategy of launching a new Call of Duty annually. Although many expected the 2021 title to be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the sequel to the excellent 2019 reboot, it seems that the American publisher's plans are very different.
Twitter user @Victor_Z, who in the past turned out to be a fairly reliable source about Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, anticipated that the 2021 proposal will again bet on a setting in World War II. In addition, its development would be in charge of Sledgehammer Games. Recall that the aforementioned study already has experience with this historical fact, since they were responsible for developing Call of Duty: WWII (2017).
If the information in the leaker is correct, then it is clear that Activision intends to re-explore the great armed conflict of the 20th century. Not too surprising, as the huge Call of Duty community responded best to games with a modern setting or based on a true historical context. However, it should be noted that WWII fell far short of meeting the expectations of the players. Both in his campaign and in multiplayer mode.
And Modern Warfare 2?
Although WWII will never cease to be an interesting setting for the franchise, no one can deny that Modern Warfare 2 was the most desired. We deduce that, due to the complexity of developing videogames today, the development cycles of a Call of Duty extended beyond two years. In addition, Infinity Ward took a risk with the introduction of new mechanics and a completely revamped graphics engine.
Another point that we cannot miss is that Call of Duty changed forever after the success of the Warzone. Now all the studios that work on the saga are required to integrate their premium game with battle royale. In this way, they allow Warzone to be constantly renewed with new content and events. It is the key to maintaining the interest of its more than 100 million players.
