Call of Duty: Black Ops 7
So what's up, and wherefore is 1 of the best-selling games of the twelvemonth already truthful heavy discounted? Well, it doesn't instrumentality a genius to recognize that Black Ops 7 doesn't look to beryllium doing arsenic good arsenic past year's Black Ops 6.
That's reflected successful everything from the captious reappraisal scores to instrumentality effect to European income figures, and adjacent Activision's ain admissions.
