Activision have hinted Call of Duty Online could be released globally after Call of Duty Online was announced for China last month.

Activision’s Eric Hirshberg responded to questions from investors and said that the game’s micro-transaction formula could be relevant in other regions.

He stated

“I think we look at the Call of Duty Online game in China on its own merit as a great opportunity,”
“That’s not to say that we won’t gain learnings about how it works in the micro-transaction-based format for the game.

“And there are a few other regions where that would be very relevant… but we certainly are not ready to announce any plans in that regard.”
