After days filled with leaks regarding its launch, Activision finally announced the release of the new addition to the Call of Duty franchise, "Call of Duty: Vanguard."
This is despite of the ongoing lawsuit filed by the California court following accusations made by the workers of the video game publishing company along with its sister company, Blizzard, regarding cases of sexual misconduct and harassment.
Few days ago, several of its game developers, graphic artists, and other office workers decide to walk out of their offices in solidarity of their fellow co-workers, mostly women, as protest against the companies' "answer" regarding the said lawsuit.
