2018’s Call of Duty Is Reportedly Black Ops 4
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is reportedly in development at Treyarch and will be released later this year.
"Multiple sources" tell Eurogamer Black Ops 4 will be this year's entry in the Call of Duty series. The game will reportedly "dial back" the subseries' sci-fi elements, instead opting for "a more grounded feeling." The report states this is in response to Infinite Warfare's negative reception in 2016.
Treyarch is, in fact, next up in Activision's three-studio Call of Duty rotation. Last year's Call of Duty: WWII was developed by Sledgehammer Games, while Infinity Ward handled 2016's Infinite Warfare. A "more grounded" version of Black Ops also makes sense given the success of WWII, which was 2017's best-selling game in the U.S.
Doritos Is Making a Female Friendly Chip
Doritos are known for several things, but being discrete isn't one of them. But PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi thinks there's a segment of the population for whom a less-crunchy chip might be appealing: women.
Speaking to the Freakonomics podcast, Nooyi her company has found women "don't like to crunch too loudly in public." And unlike men, they "don't lick their fingers generously and they don't like to pour the little broken pieces and the flavor into their mouth."
The company's own research has found several shortcomings with the current Doritos that, according to PepsiCo, make women less likely to enjoy a blast of crunchy Baja flavor.
