Development of the new 'Call of Duty' game and this new 'Warzone' experience will be led by Infinity Ward, the studio that made 'Modern Warfare', 'Infinite Warfare', 'Ghosts', and other 'Call of Duty' 'titles, including the original.
Activision also announced changes on how it will improve the current 'Warzone' experience, which has been heavily criticized in recent weeks due to bugs, exploits, and the prevalence of cheaters.
As per The Verge, in January, Microsoft had announced its intent to buy Activision Blizzard for USD 68.7 billion.
While 'Call of Duty' would certainly be a valuable Xbox-exclusive property, statements from Microsoft since the acquisition news suggest the company plans to keep 'Call of Duty' and other Activision Blizzard games on multiple platforms. (ANI)
