Yeah, it seems like they have the right tone, the right team. So I feel like they could pull this off. I feel like so far they've been doing a pretty good job of putting these things out. One of the things I wanted to bring up that I don't remember if we actually talked about post-Game Awards, but I'm shocked that we didn't get a Twisted Metal Season 2 announcement at Game Awards.

That was one of my lock predictions. And I remember I had the whole...

Totally. The chat's asking about Twisted Metal 2 and Anthony Mackie. He announced that Season 2 was happening at the last Game Awards, but we're at the time now where the show's done. Production is done, so we're just waiting for the release date. I expected we were going to get either a clip with the release date or something like that.

The budgets for big video games are among the most closely guarded secrets in the gaming industry. So it's surprising that late last month, an Activision executive spelled out the development costs for three of the games in the company's best-selling Call of Duty franchise.

The budgets for big video games are among the most closely guarded secrets in the gaming industry. So it's surprising that late last month, an Activision executive spelled out the development costs for three of the games in the company's best-selling Call of Duty franchise.

In a court filing reviewed by GameFile that has not been previously reported, Patrick Kelly, Activision's current head of creative on the Call of Duty franchise, said that three Call of Duty games released between 2015 and 2020 cost between $450 and $700 million to make.

The disclosed totals are the highest development cost ever reported by a major video game company and top just about any that have ever leaked or been estimated by analysts. By comparison, a poorly redacted court filing in 2023 from Sony pegged the development cost of the company's marquee 2020 game Last of Us 2 at around $220 million. That number was considered huge when it leaked.

Here are the Call of Duty development costs from Kelly's filing, which GameFile has reviewed. Black Ops 3 from 2015. Treyarch developed the game over three years with a creative team of hundreds of people and invested over $450 million in development costs over the game's life cycle. Kelly also discloses it sold 43 million copies. Modern Warfare 2019.

Infinity Ward developed the game over several years and has spent over $640 million in development costs throughout the game's life cycle. 41 million copies sold. Black Ops Cold War 2020. Treyarch and Raven Software took years to create the game with a team of hundreds of creatives. They ultimately spent over $700 million in development costs over the game's life cycle. 30 million copies sold.

That is not good. The above breakdown is based on a declaration from Kelly filed to a court in California on December 23rd. It's part of Activision's response to a lawsuit filed against the company last May regarding the 2022 school shooting at Rob Elementary in Texas.
