This is based on analyst group Cowen & Company’s note to investors in which they predict that 2018’s Call of Duty title could be Black Ops 4. It is unclear as to how they arrived at that prediction, but if you did enjoy the previous Black Ops 3 which was released back in 2015, then maybe Black Ops 4 is something to look forward to.
Last year we saw Activision release Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. The game’s initial trailer was met with massive dislikes by fans and gamers, although ultimately it seems that it might have worked out for them anyway. This year we’re getting a World War II theme, which seems to be Activision’s response to EA’s Battlefield 1 last year that had a World War I theme.
In addition to predicting Black Ops 4, Cowen & Company thinks that Call of Duty: WWII will perform better than Infinite Warfare. Whether or not that will happen remains to be seen, but at least for now WWII’s announcement seems to have been met with much more positivity than its predecessor.
