Late last year, Activision said that the company is releasing a “full premium” release for the Call of Duty franchise as part of its 2023 strategy. This is despite reports that surfaced stating that Activision will be skipping a year and instead, we’ll see the next full premium release in 2023.

In today’s latest quarterly earnings report by Activision, the company reaffirms that a “full premium release” is planned for the shooter franchise this year.

Across the Call of Duty franchise, our teams are working to amplify the success of the fourth quarter, with 2023 plans including even more engaging live services across platforms and the next full annual premium release in the blockbuster series.

Could this “full premium release” point to Modern Warfare 2 DLC instead of a full-fledged Call of Duty game? I honestly can’t say. But the company stating that term leads me to believe that we are getting a full retail COD game later this year complete with single-player, multiplayer and the whole bit.

Hopefully, we’ll have more info about this in the coming months.
