Call of Dutyis one of the most popular first-person shooter franchises in the current scenario. While manyCall of Dutyveterans may argue that the franchise is only a shadow of what it was earlier, it is no surprise that the series still attracts tonnes of players.
Ghost Reconis also a top-rated franchise that has been incredibly popular. The series is also one of Ubisoft’s most popular ones ever to come out. While the recent titles were tactical shooters played from a third-person perspective, there are reports that the next title in the series will revert to the first-person perspective, like Activision’sCoDseries.
Call of Duty vs Ghost Recon: the battle of the giants?
There is no doubt that in the current scenario, Activision’s first-person shooter franchise enjoys more mainstream popularity thanUbisoft‘s third-person tactical shooter series. One of the main reasons is that the former offers more ways to play and is much more accessible from a difficulty standpoint.
Forget Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s ‘No Russian,’ Ubisoft’s New Ghost Recon Could Include a Mission That’ll Make That Seem Like Child Play
While the recent entries in the latter series were famous, they couldn’t reach mainstream success that could rivalCall of Duty. Anonymous sourcesreportedto Insider Gaming that the upcoming title, being developed under the Project name Ovr / Over, aims for a release date in the 2025-2026 window.
As stated, the title will also go back to first-person. It will be heavily inspired by the current Modern Warfare subseries from Activision and feature similar dark and allegedly controversial missions. But that might be where the similarities end, as the formula for the title will not be changed to match up with Activision’s arcade shooter.
The title’s setting will be a fictional war called the Naiman War, featuring various grotesque visuals and depiction of war crimes. Like previous entries in the series, the game will continue to be a tactical shooter generally more similar to titles likeReady or Not,SquadorBattlefield.
Why Call of Duty needs a worthy competitor
As stated,Activision‘s FPS series has notably become the gaming company’s cash cow. Players dislike the game to the extent that many affirm that the only thing similar to previous and current titles is that they share the same franchise name.

From insufferablematchmakingto people abusing various glitches and rampant microtransactions that are present throughout, the industry and thegamer fraternityare in dire need of a title that can give Activision a run for its money.
