Tencent is yet to launch the game in China.</p><p>Activision, which will launch the next console edition of &quot;Call of Duty&quot; on Oct. 25, has labeled 2019 a &quot;transition year&quot;.</p><p>The company said in May it would cut 800 jobs and invest heavily to develop its key game franchises &quot;Call of Duty&quot;, &quot;Candy Crush&quot;, &quot;Overwatch&quot;, &quot;Warcraft&quot;, &quot;Hearthstone&quot; and &quot;Diablo&quot;.</p>
