Activision exec: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake no match for GTA 6 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4

An Activision executive said that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake does not compare to GTA 6 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 as the biggest games of the year, according to gamesradar.com. The executive, identified as Bahl, made the comment in an interview with The Game Business.

Bahl said GTA 6 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 are the two biggest games of the year. He also suggested that GTA 6's launch could benefit Call of Duty by bringing more players back to their consoles.

Circana analyst Mat Piscatella reported purchase intent for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 at around 15% among US console and PC players. Circana put purchase intent for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake at 10.4% across all PC and console players, noting the game is a Switch 2 exclusive.

In background, purchase intent on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is down from Black Ops 7 last year. Black Ops 7 was considered enough of a disappointment to derail Xbox's Game Pass strategy, and GTA 6 has been described as the biggest game of the year.
