Activision should ditch the Call of Duty movie and bring back its absurd celeb fest where Will Arnett went on a quest to find his own junk

With the news that Call of Duty, of all things, is getting adapted into a movie by the director of Battleship—and it's unfortunately set in the Modern Warfare universe—I got vivid flashbacks to the series' last attempt in multimedia... Read more.

Activision has confirmed the Call of Duty movie setting, and it's not what I'd have picked

I'm not sure who thinks we need a Call of Duty movie, but it's officially a thing, and it's coming out on June 30, 2028. It's "an authentic and exciting experience for longtime fans and newcomers alike." While this tidbit was confirmed earlier in the year, Activision and Paramount gave us little more than that in the months since. The big question was whether it will be set in the Modern Warfare o...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 promises more 'grounded' cosmetics, and I feel like I've heard this before

In recent years, Call of Duty has been suffering from what I lamented last year to be a severe case of Fortnitification—you know, just about every game you know and love amalgamating and morphing into a multimedia glob where some bozo from a TV show can gun down a real-life celebrity and then proceed to be revived by their teammate donning the skin of some anime protagonist...

Microsoft just made Game Pass cheaper, and it's all thanks to Call of Duty

Microsoft has announced that, effective today, it will be cutting the price of Game Pass, following a report last week that fledgling gaming division CEO Asha Sharma believed that it had become "too expensive" for players.

Call of Duty won't hit Xbox Game Pass at launch going forwards, as Microsoft's subscription service gets a price cut

Microsoft have announced some changes to Xbox Game Pass. As of today, its Ultimate and PC Game Pass tiers are having their prices slashed, but neither will get Call of Duty games at launch going forwards.

The Call of Duty Movie is coming in June—of 2028

The Call of Duty movie announced by Activision and Paramount in 2025 is set to come out on June 30—of, uh, 2028. No need to start standing in line just yet, I guess... Read more.

Activision pressured Call of Duty studio Infinity Ward to make a game about Iran invading Israel, claims former developer

Chance Glasco, an ex-lead animator on the Call of Duty series, has claimed that Activision once pressured Infinity Ward to make an entry in which Iran attacked Israel. He did so in response to a video montage posted on the official White House Xitter account, which combines the USA's real life military strikes against Iran with killstreak animations and Call of Duty interface elements.

Former Infinity Ward dev recalls "awkward pressure" for Call of Duty to make a game "about Iran attacking Israel"

The official X account of The White House has released a montage of footage from 'Operation Epic Fury', the military offensive it began on February 28 alongside Israel against Iran. Bizarrely, the montage of torpedoes hitting warships and airstrikes hitting targets actually begins with footage from 2023's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, and CoD references are scattered throughout. In response to th...

Call of Duty is sick of leaks that "mess with player expectations," allegedly shuts down well-known insider

For as long as I've been covering the Call of Duty scene (which is much closer to a decade than I'd care to admit) leaks have been part and parcel of the annual cycle. Rumors of which Activision studio is making the next game, what it'll be called, where it'll be set, and what kind of content it'll offer regularly spill out into the open, but over the years the amount of credible sources for those...
