The franchise stands among the biggest in the industry despite only releasing in 2003. It rivals the likes of Mario and Tetris who've been around for decades. Call of Duty has earned billions in revenue and sold hundreds of millions of copies around the globe. Excitement for the franchise never ends, with players gearing up for Call of Duty Black Ops 6, scheduled for release this year. Alongside a new game every year, the FPS franchise has had several spin-offs and re-releases, like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered and Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified. Here, we've compiled a list of the primary CoD games and mainline entries that had massive success in the gaming world, sometimes changing its landscape forever. Here are all the Call of Duty games in the order they were released. 2003: Call of Duty Release date: Oct. 29, 2003 Developer: Infinity Ward Sales: 4.5 million The game that started a franchise, Call of Duty was first released on PC in 2003 and featured both a single-player campaign and multiplayer. CoD featured six multiplayer modes, which for its time was substantial, compared to the modern titles which have almost doubled. It was first released on PC, Mac, and even the N-Gage handheld device. 2005: Call of Duty 2 Release date: Oct. 25, 2003 Developer: Infinity Ward Sales: 5.9 million CoD 2003 may have been the game that started it all, but Call of Duty 2 took the game to new heights as the first title to be released on a console with the Xbox 360. Who would have thought 23 years later we would be gearing up for the release of Call of Duty Black Ops 6 with the franchise being one of the most successful in console history? 2006: Call of Duty 3 Release date: Nov. 7, 2006 Developer: Treyarch Sales: 7.2 million Treyarch started their journey in the Call of Duty franchise in 2006, and now, they're preparing for the launch of Black Ops 6. And for good reason: Treyarch is considered one of the more loved developers in the CoD space and has produced just under ten titles in the franchise thus far.\u00a0 2007: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Release date: Nov. 6, 2007 Developer: Infinity Ward Sales: 15.7 million A title that changed the industry forever, Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare literally brought the CoD franchise years ahead of its time. CoD 4 took the franchise into the modern era, an era that has had the fans coming back for more each year. The previous titles were fun, but this one hit you in the feels with its breathtaking campaign and addictive multiplayer. CoD 4 revolutionized how multiplayer was played with the first prestige system. This system was popular back then but has not been used in a while. It's making a return in Black Ops 6. 2008: Call of Duty: World at War Release date: Nov. 11, 2008 Developer: Treyarch Sales: 15.7 million Treyarch upped its game in 2008 with World at War, introducing the highly successful Nazi Zombies mode to the series for the first time. 2009: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Release date: Nov. 10, 2009 Developer: Infinity Ward Sales: 25.02 million If\u00a0CoD 4\u00a0was the series' entry into the mainstream, then\u00a0MW2\u00a0turned the franchise into an entertainment juggernaut. It sold a whopping 25 million copies, which was unheard of then. That number would only grow. 2010: Call of Duty: Black Ops Release date: Nov. 9, 2010 Developer: Treyarch Sales: 30.72 million The success continued in 2010 with the first entry in the classic\u00a0Black Ops\u00a0series. The Zombies mode was expanded, and the campaign introduced franchise favorite characters such as Frank Woods and Alex Mason. 2011: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Release date: Nov. 8, 2011 Developer: Infinity Ward Sales: 30.71 million The finale of the original Modern Warfare trilogy featured yet another epic campaign and addictive multiplayer. 2012: Call of Duty: Black Ops II Release date: Nov. 12, 2012 Developer: Treyarch Sales: 31 million The highest-selling\u00a0CoD\u00a0to date is often regarded by many as one of the best in the series thanks to its competitive multiplayer, fun campaign, and further expansion of the Zombies universe. 2013: Call of Duty: Ghosts Release date: Nov. 5, 2013 Developer: Infinity Ward, Neversoft, Raven Software Sales: 28.98 million The thus far standalone\u00a0Ghosts\u00a0title brought a dog named Riley to the fight. 2014: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Release date: Nov. 3, 2014 Developer: Sledgehammer Games, High Moon Studios Sales: 21.76 million The first \"jetpack\"\u00a0CoD\u00a0game turned the focus of the franchise from \"boots on the ground\" to \"flying in the air\" for a few years. Exosuits allowed players to boost jump in all directions and jump high in the air, changing the gameplay significantly. It was also Sledgehammer Games' first work in the series. 2015: Call of Duty: Black Ops III Release date: Nov. 6, 2015 Developer: Treyarch, Beenox, Mercenary Technology Sales: 26.72 million BO3 introduced specialists to the series for the first time. Each character had their own unique set of abilities and personalities. 2016: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Release date: Nov. 4, 2016 Developer: Infinity Ward, Raven Software, Treyarch, High Moon Studios, Beenox, Vicarious Visions Sales: 13.6 million Infinity Ward brought the fight to space in 2016, and many gamers felt the \"jetpack\" gameplay style was wearing thin. Activision heard the cries, and the next\u00a0CoD\u00a0brought the fight back to Earth again. 2017: Call of Duty: WWII Release date: Nov. 3, 2017 Developer: Sledgehammer Games, Raven Software Sales: 19.82 million WWII returned the franchise to its roots with a grounded campaign and multiplayer experience. 2018: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Blackout Release date: Oct. 12, 2018 Developer: Treyarch, Raven Software, Beenox Sales: 14.3 million CoD's\u00a0first foray into battle royale launched alongside\u00a0BO4. Blackout\u00a0showed Activision the world's thirst for the last-man-standing mode, and it began a massive turnaround for the series. This was also the first entry in the series to avoid having a campaign. 2019: Call of Duty: Mobile Release date: Oct. 1, 2019 Developer: TiMi Studio Group Sales: 500 million-plus downloads, over $1 billion in revenue Smartphone gamers everywhere have loved\u00a0CoD: Mobile\u00a0and its \"greatest hits\" theme.

The gritty campaign was supplemented by addictive multiplayer, but the big kid on the block was just around the corner. 2020: Call of Duty: Warzone Release date: March 10, 2020 Developer: Infinity Ward, Raven Software, Treyarch, Sledgehammer Games, Beenox, High Moon Studios, Activision Shanghai, Toys For Bob Sales: Over 100 million downloads Warzone\u00a0shook up the battle royale landscape and gaming everywhere when it was released at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, giving players worldwide an escape into Verdansk with one of the most successful BR games released thus far. It's become a flagship in the series, with future games tied into it, with live events and constant content updates to follow. 2020: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Release date: Nov. 13, 2020 Developer: Treyarch, Raven Software, Sledgehammer Games, Beenox, High Moon Studios, Activision Shanghai, Demonware Sales: 30 million A direct sequel to Black Ops 1, Black Ops Cold War saw the return of characters like Frank Woods, Alex Mason, and Jason Hudson in the 1980s. 2021: Call of Duty: Vanguard Release date: Nov. 5, 2021 Developer: Sledgehammer Games, Treyarch, Raven Software, Beenox, High Moon Studios, Activision Shanghai, Demonware Sales: Unknown, but lower than expected The franchise returned to World War II once more in 2021. Activision Blizzard has not released the sales numbers for\u00a0Vanguard, but the company publicly acknowledged that the game\u00a0did not meet expectations\u00a0for sales. It attributed this to the WWII setting and a need for more innovation in the premium release. 2022: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II Release date: Oct. 28, 2022 Developer: Infinity Ward Sales: $1 billion within 10 days MW2\u00a0is a direct sequel to the rebooted\u00a0Modern Warfare\u00a0from 2019, and it is Infinity Ward's first main series release since, not including\u00a0Warzone. The campaign sees the return of Captain John Price, Sergeant Kyle \"Gaz\" Garrick, Simon \"Ghost\" Riley, and John \"Soap\" MacTavish. Infinity Ward also introduced a revamped Gunsmith and AI systems for its co-op mode, Special Ops, and extensive seasonal updates. 2022: Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 and DMZ Release date: Nov. 16, 2022 Developers: Infinity Ward, Raven Software, others Sales: Unknown The first substantial update in\u00a0MW2\u00a0introduced the new battle royale experience,\u00a0Warzone 2.0, and the\u00a0Escape from Tarkov-like extraction mode\u00a0DMZ. The unique experience added a new map, Al Mazrah, and changes to the\u00a0Warzone\u00a0formula. 2023: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Release date: Nov. 10, 2023 Developers: Sledgehammer Games, more Sales: TBD What comes after two? Three, of course. (Somebody tell Valve.) The second\u00a0MW3\u00a0on this list was\u00a0announced and confirmed\u00a0on Aug. 7, 2023, with a Nov. 10, 2023 release. It's a direct sequel to\u00a0MW2\u00a0and features Task Force 141 against the famous villain from the original game, Vladimir Makarov. It also contains all of the maps and weapons from MW2 the year prior, making it one of the largest multiplayer offerings in CoD history. Couple that with zombies mode and a new Warzone experience after launch, and MW3 had some of the most robust content offerings in the series. 2024: Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile Release date: March 21, 2024 Developers: Activision Shanghai, Beenox, Digital Legends Entertainment, Solid State Studios Sales: TBD Warzone for phones and tablets dropped in March 2024, offering the classic Verdansk map and integration between other CoD titles such as player level and battle pass progress, along with classic maps for quick multiplayer games while on the go. 2024: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Release date: Oct. 25, 2024 Developers: Treyarch, Raven Software Sales: TBA Black Ops 6 launched for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC on Oct. 25, 2024.

The 2024 Call of Duty game also features the return of round-based Zombies gameplay, including several new maps, such as Terminus, Liberty Falls, and Citadelle des Morts, offering a fun return to form for the co-op mode. Along with new \"omnimovement\" in multiplayer that lets players sprint or dive in any direction to revolutionize how the game feels to play, BO6's multiplayer has also been found enjoyable by most players. Black Ops 6 also brought back the classic Prestige system, a fan favorite, after several years of the series deploying a \"seasonal\" Prestige model. BO6 has its weapons and operators integrated into Warzone, along with a new map, called Area 99. 2025: Black Ops 2 sequel (rumored) Rumors, speculation, and leaks point to 2025 being another Black Ops sequel, similar to how MWII in 2022 was followed up by MWIII in 2023. This one reportedly follows the events of 2012's Black Ops 2. 2026: Modern Warfare 4 (rumored) More leaks and speculation suggest a return to the MW franchise in 2026 with MW4, Infinity Ward taking the helm again and possibly bringing back an old signature gameplay mechanic.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Black-Ops-6-vorkuta.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481436"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/918"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=481436"}],"version-history":[{"count":60,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481436\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1483668,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481436\/revisions\/1483668"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1367728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=481436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=481436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=481436"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=481436"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=481436"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=481436"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=481436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The franchise stands among the biggest in the industry despite only releasing in 2003. It rivals the likes of Mario and Tetris who've been around for decades. Call of Duty has earned billions in revenue and sold hundreds of millions of copies around the globe. Excitement for the franchise never ends, with players gearing up for Call of Duty Black Ops 6, scheduled for release this year. Alongside a new game every year, the FPS franchise has had several spin-offs and re-releases, like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered and Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified. Here, we've compiled a list of the primary CoD games and mainline entries that had massive success in the gaming world, sometimes changing its landscape forever. Here are all the Call of Duty games in the order they were released. 2003: Call of Duty Release date: Oct. 29, 2003 Developer: Infinity Ward Sales: 4.5 million The game that started a franchise, Call of Duty was first released on PC in 2003 and featured both a single-player campaign and multiplayer. CoD featured six multiplayer modes, which for its time was substantial, compared to the modern titles which have almost doubled. It was first released on PC, Mac, and even the N-Gage handheld device. 2005: Call of Duty 2 Release date: Oct. 25, 2003 Developer: Infinity Ward Sales: 5.9 million CoD 2003 may have been the game that started it all, but Call of Duty 2 took the game to new heights as the first title to be released on a console with the Xbox 360. Who would have thought 23 years later we would be gearing up for the release of Call of Duty Black Ops 6 with the franchise being one of the most successful in console history? 2006: Call of Duty 3 Release date: Nov. 7, 2006 Developer: Treyarch Sales: 7.2 million Treyarch started their journey in the Call of Duty franchise in 2006, and now, they're preparing for the launch of Black Ops 6. And for good reason: Treyarch is considered one of the more loved developers in the CoD space and has produced just under ten titles in the franchise thus far.\u00a0 2007: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Release date: Nov. 6, 2007 Developer: Infinity Ward Sales: 15.7 million A title that changed the industry forever, Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare literally brought the CoD franchise years ahead of its time. CoD 4 took the franchise into the modern era, an era that has had the fans coming back for more each year. The previous titles were fun, but this one hit you in the feels with its breathtaking campaign and addictive multiplayer. CoD 4 revolutionized how multiplayer was played with the first prestige system. This system was popular back then but has not been used in a while. It's making a return in Black Ops 6. 2008: Call of Duty: World at War Release date: Nov. 11, 2008 Developer: Treyarch Sales: 15.7 million Treyarch upped its game in 2008 with World at War, introducing the highly successful Nazi Zombies mode to the series for the first time. 2009: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Release date: Nov. 10, 2009 Developer: Infinity Ward Sales: 25.02 million If\u00a0CoD 4\u00a0was the series' entry into the mainstream, then\u00a0MW2\u00a0turned the franchise into an entertainment juggernaut. It sold a whopping 25 million copies, which was unheard of then. That number would only grow. 2010: Call of Duty: Black Ops Release date: Nov. 9, 2010 Developer: Treyarch Sales: 30.72 million The success continued in 2010 with the first entry in the classic\u00a0Black Ops\u00a0series. The Zombies mode was expanded, and the campaign introduced franchise favorite characters such as Frank Woods and Alex Mason. 2011: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Release date: Nov. 8, 2011 Developer: Infinity Ward Sales: 30.71 million The finale of the original Modern Warfare trilogy featured yet another epic campaign and addictive multiplayer. 2012: Call of Duty: Black Ops II Release date: Nov. 12, 2012 Developer: Treyarch Sales: 31 million The highest-selling\u00a0CoD\u00a0to date is often regarded by many as one of the best in the series thanks to its competitive multiplayer, fun campaign, and further expansion of the Zombies universe. 2013: Call of Duty: Ghosts Release date: Nov. 5, 2013 Developer: Infinity Ward, Neversoft, Raven Software Sales: 28.98 million The thus far standalone\u00a0Ghosts\u00a0title brought a dog named Riley to the fight. 2014: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Release date: Nov. 3, 2014 Developer: Sledgehammer Games, High Moon Studios Sales: 21.76 million The first \"jetpack\"\u00a0CoD\u00a0game turned the focus of the franchise from \"boots on the ground\" to \"flying in the air\" for a few years. Exosuits allowed players to boost jump in all directions and jump high in the air, changing the gameplay significantly. It was also Sledgehammer Games' first work in the series. 2015: Call of Duty: Black Ops III Release date: Nov. 6, 2015 Developer: Treyarch, Beenox, Mercenary Technology Sales: 26.72 million BO3 introduced specialists to the series for the first time. Each character had their own unique set of abilities and personalities. 2016: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Release date: Nov. 4, 2016 Developer: Infinity Ward, Raven Software, Treyarch, High Moon Studios, Beenox, Vicarious Visions Sales: 13.6 million Infinity Ward brought the fight to space in 2016, and many gamers felt the \"jetpack\" gameplay style was wearing thin. Activision heard the cries, and the next\u00a0CoD\u00a0brought the fight back to Earth again. 2017: Call of Duty: WWII Release date: Nov. 3, 2017 Developer: Sledgehammer Games, Raven Software Sales: 19.82 million WWII returned the franchise to its roots with a grounded campaign and multiplayer experience. 2018: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Blackout Release date: Oct. 12, 2018 Developer: Treyarch, Raven Software, Beenox Sales: 14.3 million CoD's\u00a0first foray into battle royale launched alongside\u00a0BO4. Blackout\u00a0showed Activision the world's thirst for the last-man-standing mode, and it began a massive turnaround for the series. This was also the first entry in the series to avoid having a campaign. 2019: Call of Duty: Mobile Release date: Oct. 1, 2019 Developer: TiMi Studio Group Sales: 500 million-plus downloads, over $1 billion in revenue Smartphone gamers everywhere have loved\u00a0CoD: Mobile\u00a0and its \"greatest hits\" theme. The game features modes, maps, characters, and weapons across the franchise. 2019: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Release date: Oct. 25, 2019 Developer: Infinity Ward, Raven Software, Sledgehammer Games, Beenox, High Moon Studios Sales: 30 million Infinity Ward rebooted the MW storyline with some new characters while returning ones like Captain Price and more. The gritty campaign was supplemented by addictive multiplayer, but the big kid on the block was just around the corner. 2020: Call of Duty: Warzone Release date: March 10, 2020 Developer: Infinity Ward, Raven Software, Treyarch, Sledgehammer Games, Beenox, High Moon Studios, Activision Shanghai, Toys For Bob Sales: Over 100 million downloads Warzone\u00a0shook up the battle royale landscape and gaming everywhere when it was released at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, giving players worldwide an escape into Verdansk with one of the most successful BR games released thus far. It's become a flagship in the series, with future games tied into it, with live events and constant content updates to follow. 2020: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Release date: Nov. 13, 2020 Developer: Treyarch, Raven Software, Sledgehammer Games, Beenox, High Moon Studios, Activision Shanghai, Demonware Sales: 30 million A direct sequel to Black Ops 1, Black Ops Cold War saw the return of characters like Frank Woods, Alex Mason, and Jason Hudson in the 1980s. 2021: Call of Duty: Vanguard Release date: Nov. 5, 2021 Developer: Sledgehammer Games, Treyarch, Raven Software, Beenox, High Moon Studios, Activision Shanghai, Demonware Sales: Unknown, but lower than expected The franchise returned to World War II once more in 2021. Activision Blizzard has not released the sales numbers for\u00a0Vanguard, but the company publicly acknowledged that the game\u00a0did not meet expectations\u00a0for sales.
