“Call of Duty: Black Ops 7″ Unveils Frist Zombie ‌mode Cinematic, Pitting familiar Faces Against New Threats

Los Angeles, CA – September 17, 2025 – Activision has released the inaugural cinematic trailer for the zombie ⁢mode in the upcoming⁢ “call of Duty: Black Ops 7,” signaling a⁢ continuation of ‌the popular cooperative experience. The preview‍ showcases returning characters from both previous “Black Ops” titles and “Call of Duty: world at War” battling a ⁤fresh‍ wave of undead adversaries.

The enduring popularity of the “Call of Duty” Zombies mode rests on its blend of intense action, intricate storylines, and⁢ challenging‌ gameplay. This latest installment aims to build upon that foundation, offering players two distinct experiences.⁣ A⁢ customary, high-difficulty turn-based mode ⁤will emphasize puzzle-solving, while a second “Death ‍Action Arcade 4” mode will adopt a top-down perspective and focus on fast-paced, relentless zombie slaying.

According to data released by 4Gamers, the “Death⁤ Action Arcade 4” mode is designed to appeal to players seeking a purely action-oriented experience,⁣ stripping away ⁣complex narratives in favor of unadulterated carnage. The ‌dual approach suggests ⁤Activision intends to cater to ⁢both dedicated Zombies fans who appreciate the mode’s lore and newcomers drawn to⁢ its visceral combat.

The “Black Ops” series has consistently delivered compelling zombie experiences, and the ⁤inclusion of veterans alongside ⁤new enemies⁢ promises⁤ a‌ dynamic and engaging campaign. “Call of Duty:⁤ Black Ops 7” ⁤is slated for release later this year, with further details regarding the⁢ zombie mode expected in⁣ the coming weeks.

Activision Blizzard King (ABK) CEO Bobby Kotick: His Fate and Legacy After Microsoft’s Acquisition

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com October 14, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

As Microsoft finally completes the deal, the fate of Activision Blizzard King (ABK) CEO Bobby Kotick has become the focus of attention. It has now been confirmed that Bobby Kotick will stay on until the end of 2023.

Bobby Kotick was engaged in the software business in his early days. The biggest feat in his career was to raise $500,000 to buy the nearly bankrupt Activision in 1990, lay off more than 90% of its employees, and conduct a comprehensive reorganization. Since then, Huiyan has acquired developers such as Infinity Ward and Treyarch, Guitar Hero RedOctane, and Tony Hawk Neversoft, laying the first step for the Activision empire.

In 2007, in order to expand the breadth of the game business, Bobby Kotick chose Blizzard and Sierra Entertainment, both owned by the French media giant Vivendi. I hope to gain a place in the MMO market through “World of Warcraft”.

At that time, the two parties joined forces and merged Vivendi Games and Activision through the acquisition of shares to form what became Activision Blizzard, AB.

However, the two giants joined forces but could not offset the operating failure of the parent company. In 2012, Vivendi had been intending to sell off its “Golden Chicken Mother” Activision Blizzard in order to pay off debts. In 2013, Activision Blizzard spent US$8.2 billion, equivalent to approximately NT$245.6 billion at the time, to repurchase the majority of its shares from Vivendi SA and regain its independent identity. Vivendi SA’s shareholding dropped from 61% to 12%.

From Activision and Activision Blizzard to becoming independent again from Vivendi, Bobby Kotick has always been in charge of the overall situation as CEO. However, when the sexual assault incident broke out at his Sledgehammer studio, such a person’s internal interference and cold treatment attracted huge criticism from both inside and outside the company.

Coupled with the “fat cat CEO” behavior accused by shareholders, compared with the cheap salary of grassroots employees, even Bobby Kotick may continue to live his life as CEO after Microsoft’s acquisition. The outside world has long been not optimistic that he will continue to be re-elected.

When Microsoft finally broke through the siege, successfully completed the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and officially announced the results, Bobby Kotick wrote an open letter on the same day detailing the results of Activision Blizzard over the years, and announced that it will complete the transition of corporate operations by the end of 2023.

The Longevity and Success of Candy Crush Saga: Reaching $20 Billion in Revenue and 15,000 levels

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 27, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Jakarta –

Total revenue from Candy Crush Saga, a game released in 2012 which is still popular today, has reached USD 20 billion or around IDR 310.7 trillion.

This game from developer King will soon have its levels updated to reach 15,000. This game was first available on the site, then brought to Facebook, and now on mobile devices.

Candy Crush Saga is a game that pioneered the freemium business model. That is, the game is available for free, but in order to level up faster, players can pay or watch advertisements in the game.

President King Tjodolf Sommestad said games like Candy Crush Saga and Farm Heroes Saga show that mobile games can have a long life, as quoted by detikINET from Reuters, Wednesday (27/9/2023).

“We proved to ourselves and to the industry that it’s possible to revive a game that’s been around for years, keep it relevant for a decade or more, and even break records after being around for more than a decade,” said Sommestad, in an interview .

Candy Crush general manager Todd Green said this game is constantly being updated to keep it satisfying. From simply optimizing the small bounce when a “candy” is dropped to adding new levels, including the 15,000 level milestone.

Sommestad also claims Candy Crush is the game with the highest grossing income in the United States app store for the last six years.

“We keep trying to make new games, but the bar is already very high and it takes a lot of effort to launch a new game nowadays. Candy Crush only took a few months to make but we added 10 years of development after that,” he added.

Currently, King is owned by Activision Blizzard, which acquired them in 2016. In Q2, King contributed net income to Activision of USD 747 million, or 31% of Activision’s total income.

British Competition and Markets Authority Approves Microsoft’s Acquisition of Activision Blizzard: Clearing Cloud Gaming Concerns

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 22, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard is finally making progress. The British Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) issued a statement today (22nd), preliminarily approving the acquisition. The next step will be to complete relevant assessments and make a final decision.

Microsoft President Brad Smith and Activision Blizzard Chief Customer Officer and Executive Vice President LuLu Cheng Meservey have expressed optimism about the success of this matter on social media and look forward to successfully completing the transaction before the October 18 transaction deadline.

In response to the previous progress, the British CMA was worried that Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard might cause disorder in cloud gaming competition in the British market, so it has been slow to approve the acquisition.

In its proposal resubmitted in August, Microsoft promised to sell Activision Blizzard’s cloud game rights from the past to the next 15 years to an independent third-party player, namely Ubisoft.

In other words, because of the sale to Ubisoft, Microsoft cannot restrict the cloud streaming copyright of Activision Blizzard’s products, including “The Final Hour”, “Strike”, and “World of Warcraft”, which can only be put on the shelves on its own services, nor can it prevent competitors from owning them. these contents. In contrast, Ubisoft can provide content on any cloud game provider, including subscription platforms, as an independent third-party manufacturer.

The CMA believes that this change has largely eliminated the original concerns about this. Microsoft also promised the CMA to enforce sensitive terms of the deal with Ubisoft, ensuring that the deal would satisfy the CMA’s remaining concerns.

The CMA said in a statement that the CMA’s position remains unchanged and that the merger can only proceed if cloud gaming can maintain room for competition, innovation and choice.
