Activision reportedly eyeing \u201cNFT inclusion\u201d in future Call of Duty games ActivisionActivision is reportedly considering the inclusion of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in upcoming Call of Duty titles, as an insider has claimed it\u2019s currently in discussion. While NFTs have been all the rage in recent months, it\u2019s rare to come across a project announcement without some degree of controversy. Whether it\u2019s alleged scams or \u201ccringe\u201d marketing campaigns, many of the industry\u2019s top figures have spoken out against cryptocurrency-based schemes, especially as they relate to video games. In fact, Valve has even gone as far as to outright ban NFT games on Steam, one of the largest distribution platforms today. Despite the near-endless waves of controversy, however, Activision is reportedly considering a way to implement NFTs in its biggest franchise, Call of Duty. The report comes by way of supposed industry insider \u2018RalphsValve,\u2019 who has leaked a great deal of CoD-specific intel in recent months. In an April 4 post, they claimed \u201cNFT inclusion is reportedly being considered by Activision.\u201d While nothing is yet set in stone, and it\u2019s seemingly quite early in the pipeline, it\u2019s allegedly being discussed nonetheless. \u201cNFTs have been under review, and in consideration, for a few months,\u201d they said. Given recent backlash to a number of NFT-based gaming projects, however, there\u2019s always a chance it can \u201cfall through.\u201d There\u2019s no telling exactly how NFTs would be incorporated into the CoD series, if supposed plans go ahead. We could see anything from weapon skins to calling cards provided through the blockchain, in this hypothetical future. NFT\u2019s have been under review, and in consideration, for a few months. With EA\u2019s immediate backlash against NFT\u2019s, It can totally fall through. MTX and Content structures are influenced by trends and predictions, NFT\u2019s just seem to be that at the moment. \u2014 Ralph (@RalphsValve) April 4, 2022 With a broader UI \u201coverhaul\u201d reportedly in the works, with Activision seeking to \u201cpersonalize\u201d user accounts with more depth than ever before, NFTs could be one such way to enable that. Obviously, it\u2019s worth taking this all with a massive grain of salt for now though. There\u2019s every chance these alleged conversations have already ceased in light of ample NFT drama in the gaming industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
