Call of Duty season launches suspended to support equality

Call of Duty season launches across Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Call of Duty Warzone and Call of Duty Mobile have been suspended to support “equality, justice and change to be seen and heard.”

“While we all look forward to playing the new seasons of Modern Warfare, Warzone and Call of Duty: Mobile, now is not the time,” an update reads.

“We are moving the launches of Modern Warfare Season 4 and Call of Duty: Mobile Season 7 to later dates. Right now it’s time for those speaking up for equality, justice and change to be seen and head. We stand alongside you.”

Activision Blizzard also released a statement in the wake of the death of George Floyd, saying, “Today, and always, we support all those who stand against racism and inequality. There is no place for it in our society — or any society. Black lives matter.”

It’s unclear if Activision Blizzard has supported the Black Lives Matter in any further way beyond the social media statement.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Call of Duty Warzone are available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
