This is the game of this end of the year, the one that risks, like its predecessors, to reflect the biggest market share, as they say. The blockbuster call of duty vanguard has already gratified us with a long trailer. And the activism logo lacks the call. To present the game, a call of duty present. The brand of the series instead of the publisher? Surprising.
Chance or coincidence?
This absence, one can bind itself to the troubled of Activision Blizzard with California justice. The group led by Bobby Kotick has been selling for several weeks of the affairs of sexism and harassment unveiled. Faced with some revelations, several executives have also made their bags. We knew better for the image. But it is only a supposition.
The journalist of Axios Gaming and Ex-Kotaku Stephen Totilo wanted to have the heart and contacted Activision.
I interviewed Activision on the absence of the logo, a change compared to other COD revelations.
Their spokesman replied: * Call of Duty continued to expand in an incredible universe of experiences. It was a creative choice that reflects the way Vanguard represents the next major opus of the franchise * .
A creative choice intervening at the best time, can we say, to avoid making the connection between the company with a reputation tainted and a license. To separate the man from the artist, in short. But will this decision still be in effect once the dust is put under the carpet?
Call of Duty Vanguard is expected for November 5th on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X | S, PS4, Xbox One.
