With Summer just a day away, many in the Northern Hemisphere look to escape their home prisons and unwind. 2020 has been a wild year so far. Threats of War, Australian Fires, COVID 19, and a civil rights movement (BLM) are just four key moments in 2020. With warmer days ahead, many plan to unwind this summer whether it be by the pool or out on a lawn chair. While protocols and restrictions are starting to ease up in some areas, others are having to bunker down for what could be a wild summer. Because of this, Activision Blizzard has come up with a Summer reading list.
In 2020, Activision-Blizzard has released two Call of Duty’s so far with another one just around the bend. If you have been living under a rock, then you might have missed the release of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered and Call of Duty Warzone. In late October early November Activision will release the next Call of Duty Black Ops, rumored to be Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War
Books?
While you may be waiting for the next Activision-Blizzard title, the conglomerate has comprised a Summer reading list for their fans. The books on this list will allow gamers to dive deep into the universes they know and love. This list includes stories from the World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Diablo, StarCraft, and Spyro! Each title on the list you will have to buy, although some can be listened to for free using Audiobook. Let us know which of these titles you decide to check out! Personally, I plan on looking at the Overwatch ones.
