Activision’s latest report says there are more than 3,000 people working the brand’s shooters.
We all know that the Call of Duty saga is one of the most important in the video game industry, especially if we look at the impact on sales and profits generated by the brand of Activision. The number of people playing titles like Vanguard, Warzone or Mobile is huge, but so are the people working behind them.
Thanks to TweakTown (via Kotaku) we know the official number of employees offered by Activision itself in its latest report, and the truth is that it is strikingly striking. They are more than 3,000 workers who are involved in the various tasks related to Call of Duty, more than 30% of the company’s total workforce.
A third of the entire company works on Call of Duty.For statistical purposes, the National Institute of Statistics delimits that urban localities with 5,000 inhabitants or more can be considered cities, so Activision would lack little to be able to found one with its workers if it wanted to. In fact, the figure exceeds the population of many Spanish municipalities.
Despite the efforts and resources, the latest installment of the series, Vanguard, has not performed particularly well in sales if we compare it with previous titles. However, at Activision they are already looking to the future and waiting to see what happens with the process of purchase by Microsoft. For this year they are already preparing the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, of which for the moment we only know the official logo.
