Free-To-Play Call Of Duty Game Coming To China
Activision announced today the development of a microtransaction-based Call of Duty game for the Chinese market.
We don't know anything about the game beyond that, but we have to assume that it falls under the new digital initiative with Beachhead Studios.
A strong Call of Duty presence in China could be a huge profit center for the company. The market there is saturated with free-to-play games of all stripes, though, including first-person shooting action.
It'll be interesting to see if games have any more success crossing the Pacific in this direction – though some Eastern titles have performed decently here, the North American market remains dominated by Western games.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
