Are you hoping to see a new major Blizzard title released this year? Unfortunately that will not be the case because according to Activision Blizzard’s COO Coddy Johnson, there are no plans for any “major frontline” releases for Blizzard titles this year which means that any hope of seeing a Diablo 4 is all but gone.
Last week Bungie announced that they would be separating from Activision and will also be retaining the rights to Destiny, which they plan on self-publishing in the future. It was unclear as to what would become of the franchise moving forwards, but in a new blog post shared on Bungie’s website, the developer has stated that they will remain committed to the franchise.
When Destiny 2 was announced, it was also revealed that the game would be available via the Battle.net Launcher, which is Blizzard’s launcher for their own games like World of Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo, Hearthstone, Overwatch, and so on. This is due to the fact that Destiny was published by Activision who they share the same parent company with.
Recently it was announced that Bungie and Activision would be parting ways. Prior to that, Bungie was the developer behind the Destiny franchise while Activision acted as its publisher. The split also saw Bungie retain the rights to Destiny, meaning that they’ll be able to keep developing it and publish it themselves if they so choose.
Bungie, the developer behind popular franchises such as Halo and Destiny, has made a big decision about its destiny. The studio announced today that it’s parting ways with long-time publisher Activision. What does this mean for the future of Destiny? Bungie will be self-publishing it from here on out. The studio made this surprise announcement earlier today.
Triple AAA games are usually priced around the $60 mark, sometimes more if it is a deluxe version. However if you’re looking to save some money, it seems that Activision is trying out a new model with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. The company has announced the Battle Edition version of the game that will be priced at $30.
Racing games aren’t new, especially racing games that are comprised of using characters from various video game franchises. Nintendo’s Mario Kart is a good example of that, and so is the Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. Some of you might even recall that back in 1999, Sony and Naughty Dog launched Crash Team Racing.
This year’s Call of Duty title did not launch with a campaign, despite the fact that previous Call of Duty titles did. However it seems that at some point in time, Treyarch did explore the idea of introducing a campaign to the game, and apparently it was even in development until mid 2017 where they decided to ditch it entirely.
If you’re the type of player that’s extremely competitive when it comes to games like Activision’s Call of Duty, then you’ll be pleased to learn that Activision has recently announced the launch of the official Call of Duty companion app that will be available on both iOS and Android devices that will let players stay on top of the game.
If you’ve been meaning to check out Activision and Bungie’s Destiny 2, you might want to fire up Blizzard’s Battle.net launcher and sign up for an account if you haven’t done so already. This is because to celebrate Destiny 2 turning one-year old on the PC, they have decided to do a giveaway of the game which you can claim through the Battle.net launcher.
It was just last year that Destiny 2 was released, but according to Redditor Anonthenine (via Comicbook), it seems that Destiny 3 is already in the works. It should be noted that this is not official information, but Anonthenine has in the past been pretty spot-on with their reveals so there is a chance that they might be right about this again.
Games like Call of Duty are released on an almost-annual cycle which has many wondering if maybe gamers could eventually get sick of it. Turns out that despite having been going on for so many years, gamers still love their Call of Duty because according to the official announcement, the game has managed to make $500 million in the first three days of its release.
With Activision releasing new Call of Duty titles on an almost clockwork-like schedule, you would think that gamers would grow tired of the franchise. However it turns out that despite having gone on for years on end, Activision’s latest Call of Duty title, Black Ops 4, has still managed to break previous records.
