Call of Duty Vanguard continues to struggle

Revealing the sad state of the game right now, Tom Henderson tweeted about the disappointing sales of Call of Duty Vanguard from 2021. According to him, the entry underperformed in comparison to the 2020 installment.

In fact, Vanguard was the lowest-selling Call of Duty game in the last 14 years. The title witnessed 36.1 percent fewer sales than Black Ops Cold War, the game that released a year before in 2020.

Just last week, developing teams for COD titles issued an official apology regarding the constant bugs and gameplay issues. The team also had some reassurance to offer. The objective was clear: to rectify all the problems and improve Vanguard, Warzone, and even Modern Warfare.

However, the apology didn’t seem to bring any change as the series kept seeing more errors and glitches.

More than Call of Duty, the problems seem to have extended across various teams at Activision. Fortunately, things could get better, thanks to a newly announced massive deal. The latter will see Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard.

Xbox x Activision

In case you missed it, Xbox will soon join the creators of COD and other Activision offerings. The main objective of this deal will be to expand the Xbox family with the vast catalog of the publisher of titles like Warcraft, Crash Bandicoot, and Overwatch.

Most of the fans will look forward to this acquisition along with the next major installment in the COD franchise. So far, there’s been no official news from the developers on the 2022 project. But it’s expected to be a sequel to 2019’s Modern Warfare.

Call of Duty Vanguard is now available for Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC.
