Meanwhile, the status of Warzone 2 is slightly less clear. Activision says “development on this year’s premium and Warzone experiences, led by Infinity Ward, is proceeding very well,” but it’s hard to parse if that means both Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 are slated for 2022 (rumors are Warzone 2 is a 2023 release). Take the statement how you will, but launching both in the same year would certainly make business sense, particularly considering the rumors that Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 are tightly linked, with both games featuring Colombian locales. We already know Diablo Immortal will be launching in June (on both PC and mobile), but Blizzard also provided an update on Diablo IV, which has entered company-wide internal testing. Acti-Blizz also promises to unveil its first Warcraft mobile game in the “coming weeks.” There is also talk of expanding Warzone to mobile. California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) has filed suit against Activision Blizzard, alleging widespread gender-based discrimination and sexual harassment at the Call of Duty publisher. You can get more detail on that unfolding story here. What do you think? Anything from Acti-Blizz’s upcoming slate you’re interested in playing?
