<\/p>\n

Activision has already planned out the next four Call Of Duty games, all the way to 2027, and there\u2019s an awful lot of people making them.<\/p>\n

There\u2019re a lot of long-running concerns about the health of the video games industry that are coming to a head at the moment.<\/p>\n

Not only is there an unexplained spate of staff cuts going on but it\u2019s beginning to seem like the bubble has burst on live service games, as questions are also asked over the value for money that AAA games are expected to offer.<\/p>\n

The underlying problem is that every generation AAA games become more expensive to make, requiring more people to work on them for longer than ever. And to illustrate that point consider the fact that Activision currently has 3,000 people working on the Call Of Duty franchise.<\/p>\n

That figure is across at least 10 studios and includes Call Of Duty: Warzone but possibly not Call Of Duty Mobile, as that\u2019s made by a subsidiary of Chinese giant Tencent Games.<\/p>\n

The huge workforce is in part because Call Of Duty is the only major non-sports franchise that still has yearly sequels, with Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Sledgehammer Games taking it in turns to make games over a period of three years.<\/p>\n

Managing all that sounds like a nightmare and yet according to Activision president Rob Kostich, talking to GamesBeat, they have a plan for the next four games, up to 2027.<\/p>\n
