Over 3000 of Activision’s employees are currently working on Call of Duty alone. To put that in perspective, that is more than the entire population of the village that I live in.
To put those numbers into a different perspective, that is over 30 percent of Activision’s entire workforce (which, is roughly 9800), and close to half of its total developers (6800).
“We are working on the most ambitious plan in Call of Duty history, with over 3000 people now working on the franchise and a return to the Modern Warfare setting that delivered our most successful Call of Duty title ever,” Activision wrote in its 2021 annual report (via Tweak Town).
