Black Ops Cold War is now the second most expensive game ever
WTF?
Starting with 2015’s Black Ops 3, the filing states that Treyarch developed the game over three years.
Next is 2019’s Modern Warfare.
Infinity Ward’s development costs for this one reached over $640 million and it sold 41 million copies.
The last of the three is 2020’s Black Ops Cold War.
It was also the worst-selling of the trio, shifting 30 million copies.
The most expensive back-to-back production was the Avengers Infinity War and Endgame films.
And remember that marketing costs would push the games' budget even higher.
Skull and Bones, for example, is rumored to have cost more than $850 million.
It related to the 2022 school shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas.
