Activision temporarily delays new ‘Call of Duty’ seasons

Activision’s upcoming seasons for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Mobile have been put on hold.

The publisher made the announcement in a tweet from the series’ official Twitter account.

“Now is not the time […] Right now it’s time for those speaking up for equality, justice and change to be seen and heard,” Activision said in a statement.

The announcement relates to ongoing protests in the U.S. focused on racism and police brutality.

Activision isn’t alone in this approach either. For example, EA postponed a planned Madden NFL 21 announcement and Sony delayed its June 4th PlayStation 5 event.

In anticipation of Warzone‘s next season, the free-to-play game held a double XP event over this past weekend. Activision hasn’t announced if it will extend the event given the delay.

When the new season releases, players can expect a new Battle Pass, MP maps, weapons, and more.
