💨 Abstract

The delay of the next Xbox console, initially planned for 2026, has impacted Microsoft's marketing plans for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Originally intended as a launch title, the delay has led Microsoft to consider releasing two separate Call of Duty games: a traditional multiplayer title and a standalone Zombies mode. This shift is part of Microsoft's strategy to make Activision more agile and less reliant on annual releases.
