CALL OF DUTY: THE BOARD GAME
Genuine Entertainment and Arcane Wonders have teamed up with Activision Publishing, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI) on a long-term licensing partnership to produce CALL OF DUTY: THE BOARD GAME, a thrilling new strategy game series inspired by the popular video game franchise. After pre-orders began with the successful Kickstarter this August 2023, the board game series will roll out into retail worldwide in 2024.
Call of Duty: The Board Game combines elements of strategy, tactical planning, and combat to create an intense and immersive gaming experience. Players take on the roles of elite soldiers, battling against each other in intense, fast-paced action set in the iconic maps from the Call of Duty video games.
The original game will feature stunning artwork and high-quality components, including miniatures of the iconic soldiers and weapons from the Call of Duty franchise, as well as a variety of scenarios and gameplay modes that allow players to savor and share the excitement of CoD in a whole new way. The first wave of games is set in the Modern Warfare era, with two-player and four-player game matches available through the core game and various expansions. Future releases may explore other facets of the video game franchise and introduce new operators, weapons, maps, and game modes, but all expansions will use the same core game system, allowing players to plug and play all future releases with ease.
Alongside Evolution, Joe LeFavi at Genuine brought Arcane Wonders and Activision together, brokering the licensing agreement and serving as a producer and brand manager on the tabletop program. LeFavi came onto this project back in 2019 due to Genuine's friendship with Evolution, who was kind enough to whisper that Activision was keen on making a premium board game, but only if the right super fan came along. Arcane Wonders, Evolution, and Genuine had a wonderful time playing together on our Hello Neighbor social deduction game, and we knew for a fact that everybody there have been die-hard CoD fans since day one. So we brought the band back together to build this new partnership, working tirelessly since to recreate the same strategic, intense, and immersive experience for the tabletop.
