Activision Blizzard’s Q4 financial conference continues, and someCall of Dutydetails were released. First, a new FPS is shockingly coming in 2011. I know! They didn’t mention what studios were involved with it.
“Project Beachhead” was created to streamline all online content with in-game integration, including all kinds of community elements. Beachhead will include a newly formed studio which will focus on this new element as part of Activision Blizzard’s renewed focus on online digital content as a viable means for generating profit.
When asked, Activision said Beachhead will have a “lot of services” but they are not ready to talk about subscription costs at this point. They didn’t flat out deny it would be a free service either, but simply referred to an announcement some point in the future.
TheFirst StrikeDLC pack forCall of Duty: Black Opssold more than 1.4 million units in the first 24 hours, a 25% increase over the lastModern Warfare 2map pack, and Activision considers DLC to have “more commercial potential than most standalone console games.”
First StrikeDLC will be released on the PS3 later this quarter.
