Activision is making some big changes to how it releases Call of Duty games. 

As revealed in a new post to the official Call of Duty blog, the company will 
no longer release back-to-back titles from either the Modern Warfare or Black 
Ops series. It follows the middling reception of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 , 
which currently sits at a score of just 67 on Metacritic, and a more negative 
response to the earlier Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 . 

Both games were released just one year after their predecessors, the 
excellent Black Ops 6 and Modern Warfare 2, respectively. Activision states 
that it is doing this in order to "drive innovation that is meaningful, not 
incremental" and "provide an absolutely unique experience each and every 
year." 

The post also affirms that the company is still "committed" to supporting 
Black Ops 7 and "won't rest" until it's " one of the best Black Ops games 
weve ever made." 

The game just received its first major content drop in the form of Season One 
, which adds heaps of new content for all of its modes. It was one of the 
biggest updates in Call of Duty history, and I've been loving the new maps 
and modes. 

If you haven't yet tried Black Ops 7 , it's definitely worth a go. The 
campaign is very weak, sure, but both the multiplayer and Zombies modes are 
some of the best in the series yet. 

The game will be available to play for free for a limited time next week on 
PC, PlayStation 5 , PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and Series S , and Xbox One.
