Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 s Early October Release May Indicate The Strength Of Red Dead Redemption 2
More actions
By being first this year, Activision is hoping to hook players on Black Ops 4 before they'll ever even have the chance to holster a revolver in Red Dead . It's essentially a reverse of the situation that I painted above. Plus, releasing first allows Black Ops 4 to dictate the conversation in gaming spaces for at least a few weeks before Red Dead drops like a piano onto a cartoon character.
Most likely, your travels in Red Dead Redemption 2 are not going to be peaceful little getaways. You're going to run into many dangerous situations as you make your way through the game, and your horse is going to notice them; each and every one. From straying a little too close for comfort to a predator, to getting into a gunfight, or any number of other risky situations you get into, your horse is going to get uncomfortable pretty of
Remember when Horizon Zero Dawn and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild released in the same week last year? Despite Horizon being a phenomenal game-- some would say the best of last year -- Breath of the Wild still ended up dominating the conversation in the casual and broader gaming scene. I imagine that Red Dead Redemption 2 will end up being one of those conversation-dominating titles as well, which means it's likely better for Activision to just stay out of its way after release.

This weapon is unique as it involves completing the Gunslinger side quests. These side quests take you away from the main plot of the game, but boy do they provide some of the best weapons in the game. One of the quests involves hunting down a shootist named Billy Midnight. If you end him, you’ll grab his powerful Mauser pistol, with gold engravings and great accuracy and fire rate. While the damage is average, the weapon is powerful to have early on in the g
I want to be clear after saying all of this that by no means do I think Black Ops 4 would sell poorly if it did release in November. For Activision though, this is all about maximization of profits. Even if Red Dead Redemption 2's release didn't have as big of an effect as I'm pretending it would, it's obvious that an effect would still be had. Activision knows this, too, and that's why they've pushed Call of Duty into an October window for the first time in 13 years.

When all is said and done, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 will each sell millions upon millions of copies. There's no doubt that these will likely be the two highest selling titles of 2018, but for once, it makes sense for Call of Duty to be the first to market rather than having other publishers work around their own release date.
When you combine these strong initial sales that Red Dead 2 is sure to have with the fact that it will have an online mode that could bring in as many people as GTAV , then you start to realize that many gamers might not be as quick to run out and purchase Black Ops 4 as normal. If Red Dead were to have its hooks in players by the time Black Ops 4 was to release in its typical November spot, I have no doubt that sales would suffer at least a degree.
