Caption: Call of Duty Costs Reach Record-Breaking $700 Million. According to Eurogamer, a new report reveals the staggering costs of developing the Call of Duty franchise. Activision’s court filing shows that Black Ops Cold War cost $700 million (£557m) to create while Modern Warfare hit $640 million (£509m), and Black Ops 3 $450 million (£358m). These figures cover the entire lifecycle of each game, including post-launch support but exclude marketing budgets, which likely add hundreds of millions more. To put these numbers in perspective, The Last of Us Part 2 cost $220 million and Horizon Zero Dawn $212 million, according to a leaked Sony document With Call of Duty’s budgets dwarfing these totals, it highlights the franchise’s unmatched scale and investment in the gaming world.
