In the endless Activison-Blizzard lawsuit between Sony and Microsoft, Sony leaked confidential documents for its games due to documents that were not properly redacted. It is said that the parts that should be hidden in the documents in question are passed over with a pen and therefore become readable when scanned.

In this context, although the leaked documents are not completely readable, certain information can be seen. By leaking this information amateurishly, Sony; Horizon has presented very important information about Forbidden West and the Call of Duty series to social media.

The Call of Duty series brought in $800 million for Sony in 2021, in America alone. From 2019 to 2021, this number has increased to 15.9 billion dollars worldwide.

Yes, $15.9 billion. Or at least that’s how we see it from the documentation. These expenses are said to cover games, hardware and in-game subscriptions.

Apart from this, it is stated that 1 million PlayStation players do not play any game other than Call of Duty.

The documents also include how much Sony spent on Horizon Forbidden West and The Last of Us Part II.

According to the information in the letter sent by PlayStation Boss Jim Ryan to the FTC, the company spent $ 212 million with 300 employees in 5 years for the Forbidden West game.

The development process of The Last of Us Part II is said to have started in 2014, if we’re not mistaken. 220 million dollars was spent on this game with 200 employees.

Finally, Sony states that although the deal has expired, another Call of Duty game will definitely come to PlayStation.

The deal between Activision and Sony expires in 2024, but according to Jim Ryan’s letter, this deal does not cover the next Call of Duty game. It is also said that this game will be released towards the end of 2023.
