With the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 so close (October 25th), the anticipation for the game is almost at its highest. The whole franchise has captivated players for years with its immersive cooperative gameplay and campaign story.
The franchise also has a routine of releasing titles every year with new features and modes. However, with this annual release schedule, players are worried that Black Ops 6 will be overshadowed within a year and won’t be getting frequent updates.
Players Want Black Ops 6 to Break One Trend in Call of Duty
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is scheduled to be released on October 25th for all the platforms. The anticipation for the game is sky-high as players are getting more information and also due to last year’s Modern Warfare 3 being a somewhat disappointment when it comes to campaign.
The annual trend of releasing a new title in the series severely undermines the franchise’s longevity. Players know that this isn’t unique to just Call of Duty but for a series with such a rich legacy and devoted fanbase, this is a major issue.
Reddit user, Longjumping-Worth573, recently raised this question to the community. This has become quite a big discussion and players are somewhat frustrated that their beloved title gets replaced every year or so.
Hope they don’t kill this game after a year

Some players want the new release to be more than 1 year later.

While other players are saying this is a good way for studios to make money so they won’t change it.

This annual cycle, while making the studio a good financial success in the short term, however, does create significant challenges for players who want to invest their time in one title.
Every year, older games in the series see their player bases go down even matchmaking times increase, making the gameplay experience worse and worse.
Players Hope Black Ops 6 Will Bring a Change
Black Ops 6 now has a unique opportunity to break free from this monetary cycle. It is already one of the most beloved sub-series within the Call of Duty universe as it not only brings nostalgia but also offers years of legacy.
Treyarch can take advantage of this legacy and can implement strategies to extend the lifespan of the game beyond just the release of the next title.
Treyarch is already showing its commitment to making the upcoming title feel more realistic and hardcore just like the original Call of Duty. This is the studio’s time to show its dedication to redefining the multiplayer FPS genre and the whole franchise once again.
In the end, players can only hope and wait for the game’s release to see if Black Ops 6 will be the turning point in the franchise.
