Last year Activision also launched a new franchise Destiny which was reasonably successful and managed to generate a great amount of money through DLC sales. The publisher plans to grow its stable of blockbusters to ten franchises. Right now there are about five big game series at Activision’s disposal, including Call of Duty and World of Warcraft.
