近日，动视暴雪公布了第三季度财报，在财报上动视表示2023年《使命召唤》将有一个新的、完整的付费作品。
动视称：“我们期待在2023年继续保持住当前强有力的势头，明年将有《使命召唤》这一年度系列的下一个完整付费的游戏，以及免费的该游戏体验。”
然而彭博社记者Jason Schreier澄清称，动视下一个《使命召唤》游戏将于2024年发售，T组领导开发。2023年将是大锤工作室开发的《使命召唤19：现代战争2》的付费资料片，将有大量新内容，所以动视称其是“完整的作品”，但实际上还是《使命召唤19》。
这标志着过去20年来《使命召唤》首次跳过年度发售。
The publisher behind the massively popular video game franchise Call of Duty, Activision, recently announced plans for a “full premium release” at some point in 2023. The news which comes from a financial report resulted in a frenzy of speculation, some hoping for a sequel, others expecting an expansion pack for the recently released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
“Activision is looking forward to building on its current momentum in 2023 with plans for next year including the most robust Call of Duty live operations to date, the next full premium release in the blockbuster annual series, and even more engaging free-to-play experiences across platforms,” the financial report explained to investors.

The publication Bloomberg reported back in August that Activision would be delaying its next full entry in the franchise, expected to be developed by the studio behind Call of Duty: Black Ops, Treyarch. This would of course represent the first time in well over a decade that Activision skipped a year in its release schedule for the series. “I’d expect new paid ‘premium’ content for Modern Warfare 2, not a brand new Call of Duty,” journalist at Bloomberg Jason Schreier said at the time. “Treyarch is leading the next mainline game which was delayed to 2024.”
Schreier has now revisited his previous remarks in the wake of so much speculation. “Let me make this super clear,” the journalist explained. “The next game by Treyarch is coming out in 2024. Next year, there will be a Modern Warfare 2 ‘premium’ paid expansion by Sledgehammer. It’s supposed to have lots of content! Maybe that’s why they call it a ‘full’ release. But it’s more Modern Warfare 2.”
The question as to what form this rumored expansion pack may potentially take remains unclear. While some have suggested that a zombie mode could be in the works, others have been pointing to the possibility of more campaign content, perhaps even a multiplayer map pack of fan favorites to celebrate the upcoming twentieth anniversary of the franchise.
