Call of Duty Hits $40B Revenue Milestone

Call of Duty has just crossed the $40 billion revenue mark, and a new film is set for June 2028. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma said the franchise earned $40 billion in 22 years, 11 months, 28 days. That averages $4.8 million per day, with Black Ops 3 selling over 43 million copies. Modern Warfare (2019) is close behind with 41 million sales, and Modern Warfare 2 (2022) made $1 billion in just 10 days. Meanwhile, Paramount's Peter Berg will direct a nuanced Modern Warfare film, co-written with Taylor Sheridan. The movie, slated for June 2028, promises to explore the cost of war rather than cartoonish action. Sharma's praise of the franchise's "incredible milestone" underscores how a yearly release schedule keeps the brand alive. With 200 million hours played on Modern Warfare 2, the series shows no sign of slowing. As the franchise hits a revenue landmark, its next chapter-on screen and sales-promises to keep gamers on edge.
