During its financial report, Activision-Blizzard confirmed the name of the developer associated with two of the upcoming Call of Duty franchise releases.
In the usual Call of Duty franchise release schedule, there are no surprises. If this had not been confirmed for the moment, Activision-Blizzard took advantage of its balance sheet to formalize the presence from Infinity Ward at the helm of the game’s next installment, in 2022.

Activision also indicates that IW will be in charge of Warzone 2the studio having already worked on the Battle Royale released in 2020.
