Called to duty, never called home
Want to feel old?Call of Duty: Black Ops IIis three years old. Want to feel, I don’t know, surprised? Impressed? That “huh” feeling when you learn a moderately interesting but not too interesting or at all valuable piece of information?
Buried in Activision’s earnings report and overshadowed by things like the company buying theCandy Crushdeveloper forsix god damn billion dollars,Call of Dutyfan siteCharlie Intelfound the following:
“On June 07, 2025, Activision Publishing expects to release the highly anticipatedCall of Duty: Black Ops IIIfrom its award-winning studio, Treyarch. Momentum ahead of launch has been strong and engagement forCall of Duty: Black Ops IIgrew quarter-over-quarter again to nearly 12 million MAUs, an unprecedented level for a game that is three years old and only available on old-generation consoles.”
No wonderBlack Ops IIIis still coming toPS3 and Xbox 360 without the single-player. And that 12 million November is up from 11 million in August, so the upcomingBlack Ops IIIis building even more hype for its 2012 predecessor.
