Brief list of Call of Duty games organized by release date and series timeline.

A comprehensive list of Call of Duty games arranged in both release date order and chronological order within the series.

The Call of Duty franchise stands as one of the most prosperous in the realm of video games. Its inaugural title not only redefined the standards for first-person shooters but also established a multiplayer experience that has captivated gamers for close to twenty years. Furthermore, Warzone has emerged as a prominent contender in the battle royale genre.

 

Across its iterations, Call of Duty has traversed various battlegrounds, ranging from World War II to speculative futuristic conflicts set in 2187. However, these narratives unfold without a fixed chronology, often transporting players through time with each annual installment. As a result, gamers have encountered different epochs and perspectives, sometimes revisiting past conflicts through sequels and remakes.

 

Navigating through this extensive saga can be challenging, but fear not. For those keen on exploring the intricate history of Call of Duty, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of games, arranged both by release date and their chronological order within the series.

 

Since 2003, Call of Duty has maintained an impressive streak of annual releases, a rarity surpassed perhaps only by sports franchises like NBA 2K and Madden NFL. While loyal fans celebrate this consistency, some argue that the series may benefit from a hiatus, suggesting a departure from the yearly release cycle.
