COD, COD Mobile, COD Warzone, COD Modern Warfare 2, Activision, drop, 100 million
The number of active players of Activision games fell below 100 million for the first time in nearly three years due to a drop in engagement for Call of Duty
During the Call of Duty publisher’s second quarterended June 30, monthly active users were 94 million, up from 100 million in the first quarter. His players were over 100 million since the fourth quarter of 2019, which saw the release of Call of Duty Mobile.
Activision said that its second-quarter revenue and operating profit were down year-on-year“reflecting lower engagement for the Call of Duty franchise, but increased from Q1“.
However, this is surely a low period since during the fourth quarter, Activision plans to release two new Call of Duty games. Activision has confirmed the release date of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 for October 28, 2022, and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 will also be launched as an expansion of the Modern Warfare universe later this year.
“Activision Studios also continues to make great strides on an innovative mobile experience that will extend Warzone to the most important and fastest growing platform. […] Across the Call of Duty ecosystem, teams are well positioned to support these launches with substantial live operations while continuing to develop new premium content planned for 2023 and beyond.”
