‘Call Of Duty’ To Be Announced At Xbox 720 Reveal?

Could Call of Duty be announced at the reveal of the Xbox 720?

If there is one thing the Xbox 360 has been known for since its release, it was first-person shooters. We had Halo, Call of Duty, and a plethora of other gun-happy titles to run with, much to the annoyance of anyone who wasn’t looking for first-person shooters. Seeing Call of Duty launch with the Xbox 720 would only be fitting in this case.

There has been no reveal yet of the Xbox 720 or Call of Duty, which leads skeptics to believe they may be occurring at the same time. It’s not like the creators of Call of Duty, Activision, are losing money on the series. Call of Duty appears to the big title planned to survive the recent run of layoffs, and with microtransactions making their way to the Xbox Live marketplace, the game isn’t fading anytime soon.

Call of Duty would be a flagship title that may steal PlayStation fans away, as Activision is in agreement with Microsoft for DLC exclusivity. With Bungie apparently making a deal with Sony to bring their next big title Destiny exclusively to PlayStation 4, Xbox 720 is going to need its killer app. Halo may have given way to the new franchise, and Bungie knows what it’s doing.

The Xbox 720 may be planned as an “entertainment hub” by Microsoft, but a lot of us will remain under the agreement that a console is for gaming. And gamers love Call of Duty, as the numbers themselves will attest.

Call of Duty has been known for its yearly releases, and as history has shown, those releases usually happened around May, which happens to be the month that the Xbox 720 is expected to be announced. On May 21, 2013 we should have our answers if rumors are correct.

How do you feel about Call of Duty possibly being announced at the Xbox 720 reveal?
