Why is there no Call of Duty: Ghosts 2?
When the Call of Duty (CoD) franchise introduced their futuristic setting and fast-paced gameplay in Call of Duty: Ghosts in 2013, it wasn’t expected to be its last outing. Unlike its predecessors, Ghosts never got a sequel, prompting questions about the fate of the series. Amidst the excitement for what’s next in the storied franchise, let’s delve into the possible reasons behind the lack of Ghosts 2.
Reasons behind the cancellation
Here are some points hinting at the decline and eventual cancellation of a full-fledged sequel to the 2013 shooter.
- Declined Sales: Call of Duty: Ghosts’ market performance was disappointing. Following the game’s poor pre-orders and lower sales estimates, the game averaged around 2% of the global retail store sales, compared to over 30% in World at War’s initial push. Although respectable, the figures pitted the game against heavy-handed competition, like other renowned shooters like Battlefield and Crysis.
-
Waning Interest: Players witnessed the same, relatively lackluster experience they gained from the 2001 Call of Duty 3 games, leading to significant decline in sales, player base, and developer-investor trust.
- Franchise Consolidation: In a similar scenario, Activision acquired Raven Software and published Infinity Ward’s Medley, the predecessor, causing significant financial loss for IW and a perceiveable decrease in creative flexibility**.
Other Speculates: The absence of single-player campaigns and instead prioritizing multiplayer may not receive positive reviews. Activition could have focused more into Multiplayer to regain competitive ground.
