Dying Light 2 Fixes

Call of Duty
For something out of the ordinary for the Call of Duty scene, Bloomberg have reported that the next Call of Duty game will NOT come this year as Activision delay a game outside of the yearly cycle.
I’m the article below it states:
“Activision Blizzard Inc. will delay a Call of Duty game that had been planned for next year, the first time the franchise will be without an annual mainline release in nearly two decades, according to people familiar with the plan.
The company is pushing off the release after a recent entry in the series failed to meet expectations, leading some executives to believe that they’re introducing new versions too rapidly, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to discuss the deliberations. The decision was not related to Activision’s agreement to sell itself to Microsoft Corp. for $69 billion, the people said.”
It is a good move as we see a lot of other titles do the same in these current times. You can read the full article here.
