Call of Duty hit new records in the past year as net bookings crossed $3 billion, according to Activision Blizzard. Meanwhile, the new Call of Duty: Black Ops — Cold War version of Warzone has been delayed from December 10 to December 16.

During the past year, Call of Duty evolved from a once-a-year release to a year-round pastime as Activision launched Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Mobile, and the battle royale mode Call of Duty: Warzone. In November, it launched Call of Duty: Black Ops — Cold War. The free-to-play Warzone has been downloaded 85 million times since March.
