Still didn’t stop it hitting number one though
This isn’t going to come as a surprise to anybody, but Activision’s multiplayer military shooterCall of Duty: Black Ops 4is number one with a bullet, having debuted straight into the premier spot of the UK Charts this week. Particularly of note, (and in keeping with many major releases this Fall)Black Ops 4physical sales have plummeted by a staggering 50% on last year’sCall of Duty: WWII,whilst digital sales have absolutely sky-rocketed, resulting in the biggest digital launch in Activision history.
2K Games latest ring-rockerWWE 2K19also had a strong opening, landing in the Top Five. Though still severely flawed, this year’s entry to the WWE roster is a definite improvement on previous years.Assassin’s Creed OdysseyandFIFA 19are still shifting plenty of copies, enough to remain in the Top Five.
Elsewhere in the charts, Nintendo Switch re-releaseThe World Ends With You: Final Remixarrived at number 22, while a surprising re-entry was made by Electronic Arts’UFC 3at number 27, no doubt ignited by the carnage that took place at the previous weekend’s UFC 229 pay-per-view.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4will definitely continue to enjoy its time at the top for the next couple of weeks, and I’d usually be want to say it will remain there for the holiday season. However, the old church bell strikes noon, and come October 26, there’s a new gun in town.
