After 400 million Call of Duty games sold, Activision still has big plans ahead
The Call of Duty franchise is one of the strongest in video games with more than 400 million premium copies sold to date.
Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops — Cold War are moving to Season 3 of new content today, and that gave us a reason to catch up with the boss, Rob Kostich, president of Activision Publishing and the head of the Call of Duty Franchise.
There have been 19 different Call of Duty games since 2003, if you count both the free-to-play battle royale Warzone, which has been downloaded 100 million times, and Call of Duty: Mobile, which has been downloaded 300 million times. The franchise isn’t fatigued yet, and it has made it through some difficult times such as the departure of its founding developers as Call of Duty went multi-studio. It made the leap to free-to-play and its premium version is still selling extraordinarily well.
