It is reported that "at least" the next three Call of Duty games will be available on PlayStation platforms despite a recent historic purchase ( Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard for $70 billion ).
We learned this from a Bloomberg report, which claims that Activision Blizzard had already committed to releasing the next "several" games in the series on the PlayStation before it was acquired by Microsoft. However, the report explains that the fate of all subsequent Call of Duty games on the PlayStation is still a mystery.
There is nothing surprising in the fact that CoD will be delayed on the PlayStation. Head of Xbox Phil Spencer spoke out after the deal to buy Activision, expressing his intention "not to alienate the community." He soon added that Xbox promised PlayStation to keep all agreements reached on the Call of Duty series. Actually, Sony said the same thing: after the information about the purchase of Activision Blizzard, PlayStation executives said they hoped to keep everything that was planned earlier.
Today's report adds even more specificity to all these words, although Microsoft has not officially confirmed this news. Neither Microsoft nor Sony have said anything about how long we'll see the Call of Duty series and other Activision games on PlayStation platforms. But now we know for sure: at least three CoD games will still appear on Sony consoles.
