They are Stacey Sher and Nick van Dyk, the co-presidents of Activision Blizzard Studios, a new "in-house production division that hopes to succeed where almost everyone else has failed by turning games into commercially and critically successful film and TV."

Rumor: Leaked Art Points to WWII Setting for Call of Duty 2017
If this leaked artwork is to be believed, Call of Duty will make a return to WWII in its 2017 release. Artwork depicting Call of Duty: WWII surfaced today from Reddit and "TheFamilyVideoGamers" on YouTube.
The original leak seems to come from the person that leaked the first details about Infinite Warfare's multiplayer ahead of its reveal, so there might be something to this. Despite how authentic these images may be, it is still advised to take them with a grain of salt.... -

Desperation Thy Name is a Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Free Trial
If you haven't yet been bitten by the annual Call of Duty bug, perhaps a free trial of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will sway you. Or not. Actually, it probably won't but I'm still going to let you know about it. Right now until December 20 at 10AM (PT), you can play a free trial of the massively disappointing Infinite Warfare multiplayer (level cap of 15), Zombies, and somewhat decent Campaign (just two levels). If that doesn't sell you, maybe hearing that it's a 55+GB download wi... -

Microtransactions and Women Filled Loot Boxes Added to Modern Warfare Remastered
Yesterday, an update was released for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. It added in some returning multiplayer maps and new game modes like Gun Game and Hardpoint. That's great news!
The not so great news is that they added in microtransactions into the game, which had no microtransactions in the first place. Yes, they are cosmetic but the fact remains that they were added in after the game launched without any. Secondly, they also added in female character models that... -

Inspect Weapon Feature Included in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remastered
Something interesting was discovered this weekend during the Call of Duty XP event. Some have found that there is now an "inspect weapon" feature built into Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remastered.
Those who play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive may feel at home with such a feature. This new functionality seems to indicate that there may be some skin support, ala CS:GO, coming to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remastered. We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out. ... -

by Shawn ZipayMake up your own definition of "complete."
Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?
For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...I did not complete any game in 202533.33%2I completed up to 10 games50.00%3I completed more than 10 games16.67%1-
