Zeal for the next Call of Duty game is worth watching among Xbox fans. As of now, they don’t seem to care about other video games and are waiting for the popular military shooter to arrive on day one of the Game Pass. Maybe they’ve already jumped to the conclusion that it’s already a success, which means Activision can safely say, ‘That’s marketing done right’.

One game that recently became a victim of Activision was Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Despite the fact that it received several accolades, including Indie Game of the Year, it doesn’t make a difference to fans. They would rather wait for the military shooter to arrive on Game Pass than pay for a certain game directly.

Maybe Players Need to Give Other Video Games a Chance

Either people don’t want to spend too much money on a single game or they are just not into it. At least that’s the case with one of the popular games available on Steam currently. The craze for Black Ops 6 is peaking by day and the confirmation for its arrival on Xbox Game Pass at day one has added to the thrill.

Gamers on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) are debating about how the popular military shooter is becoming a poisoned chalice for other video games at the moment.

Even the fans who didn’t mention Call of Duty are asking about the game’s arrival on Game Pass.

The indie game is set to arrive on Game Pass on August 15, 2024, and whilst Xbox Game Pass is undoubtedly a good service for gamers to take advantage of, this is just one example where the developers and their games are being hurt in the process.

Why Are Fans So Hyped for the Upcoming Call of Duty Game?

We cannot say the excitement for the next Call of Duty has reached its peak yet, as it is towering ceaselessly. It’s been out of control since “The Truth Lies” campaign began recently. The return of popular characters like Frank Woods just adds more flavor to it. As in Black Ops 2he was seen roaming around in a wheelchair.

This makes the return of the antagonist from the game, Raul Menendez, more evident. Events in Black Ops 2 lead to a point where Menendez eventually shoots at both the legs of Woods, crippling him for life. The saddest part of that mission, dubbed ‘Suffer With Me,” is that he shoots his best friend, Alex Mason, which may kill him.

It definitely needs to include a top-tier narrative, at least to cover up the old wounds given to the franchise by Modern Warfare III. Concerning visuals, it is more likely to be a treat for fans like the previous games in the franchise have been.
