With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone now launched, supposed details of the 2020 edition of the franchise are coming to light. As always will rumours like these, take them with a pinch of salt for now.
The new rumour comes from known CoD leaker The Gaming Revolution, who has been more correct than not when it comes to previous leaks.
This time around it’s being claimed that the 2020 Call of Duty game will be a reboot of Black Ops, in a similar vein to the 2019 reboot of Modern Warfare. According to the leak, the game is being developed by Treyarch, which aligns with what we’re expecting for the series.
Excitingly for CoD fans, there’s a lot that The Gaming Revolution has leaked, including the game’s campaign and multiplayer mode.
The campaign will allegedly be set in the time of the Vietnam War and the Cold War, which is a rumour we’ve heard before. The game will reportedly have a focus on realism, and will try to be darker and grittier than 2019’s Modern Warfare.
It’s claimed that the game will explore the narratives of different areas, including South Vietnam, the Viet Cong and the United States. Returning characters allegedly include Alex Mason and Frank Woods, though they’ll be played by different voice actors.
As for multiplayer, play testers are apparently being very positive towards the early build of the game, which is definitely good news if true.
All multiplayer DLC will reportedly be free, just like in Modern Warfare, and large multiplayer maps will support big player numbers. There is reportedly some changes in the works though, with a return to the three-lane layout for a more streamlined design.
The Gaming Revolution also “confirmed” the following Killstreaks will be returning: UAV, Counter UAV, a Killstreak to counter sky-based Killstreaks and a dog Killstreak.
Perhaps most excitingly is the apparent return of Zombies, which again, is said to be darker and grittier than every before.
