That’s a big difference compared to Call of Duty games that we used to see. The game starts out with Arthur Kingsley, a Black soldier in the British Airborne forces who parachutes into France Lucas Riggs, an Australian soldier who fights in the Middle East Polina Petrova, a Russian sniper fighting in Stalingrad and modeled after real female soldiers who were the Soviet Union’s best snipers in the war and Wade Jackson, a pilot who fights in the Battle of Midway and also sees combat on the ground in Numa Numa, Bougainville.Īmong the interesting things about the characters is that they’re not only diverse when it comes to national origin, but they’re also diverse when it comes to gender and race.

On top of that, Raven Studios is developing a new Caldera map set in the Pacific theater for Warzone. While Sledgehammer is the lead, Beenox (PC developer), Treyarch (Zombies) and others such as High Moon Studios, and Activision Shanghai helped with the development. Still, it’s worth noting that Call of Duty titles - not counting the free-to-play Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Mobile games, which have hundreds of millions of players - typically sell 25 million to 35 million copies each year.Īnd this one represents a big effort across multiple studios.
EA said more than 7.7 million people participated in the beta for Battlefield 2042. That friction could give an opening to Electronic Arts, which is launching its rival Battlefield 2042 title - a modern warfare game with multiplayer modes only - to compete better.
But game developers who want to make the company better have also said they would rather have gamers support them through buying the game. The ongoing publicity around the state of California’s allegations, which said the company has tolerated a “frat house culture” and pay inequity for years, has prompted some people to want to boycott the game. Three top investment pros open up about what it takes to get your video game funded.Īnd yes, this is the same company that is embroiled in sexual discrimination lawsuits.
