It’s time to go over the top!
A staple of the gaming industry for over two decades, Call of Duty has carved a relentless, cinematic path through generations of consoles with its mixture of gritty war-time realism and action-packed sci-fi scenarios.
With annual releases giving players memorable campaigns and expanding suites of multiplayer options, the games are arguably the definitive first-person shooters of the 21st century.
The impact of the series cannot be understated, and is as recognisable to non-gamers as any other pop-culture phenomenon.
In this book, trace the history of the series, from humble beginnings as an answer to the Medal of Honor gaming franchise, to global powerhouse that pulls in as much revenue as a Hollywood blockbuster.
Whether you’re looking for a realistic World War simulation or a gripping glimpse into future warfare, Call of Duty has it covered. The series has drawn in new fans with its Warzone and Zombies modes as it continues to expand beyond its traditional trappings.
This book also looks at the hard-working developers who make it happen, as well as the business dealings that have led to Call of Duty arriving in more homes every single year, including the infamous acquisition of publisher Activision-Blizzard by tech titans Microsoft.
