The next Call of Duty game could be revealed this month through an in-game event in Warzone.

Code unearthed by dataminers following the release of the Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 3 Reloaded update on Wednesday potentially hints at plans to announce the next series entry soon, ahead of a dedicated showcase for the game that’s expected next month.

On Tuesday, Microsoft announced plans to hold an Xbox Games Showcase on June 9, followed by another digital presentation for a mystery game.

According to The Verge, that game is the new Call of Duty, and publisher Activision is said to be targeting a late October release for the title.

Microsoft released a teaser image for the mystery game showcase featuring what looks like Cerberus, the mythical three-headed dog. Cerberus is reportedly the codename for this year’s Call of Duty and has also made a number of appearances in the Black Ops series.

Combing through the files for this week’s Warzone update, dataminers reportedly uncovered a number of references to a Cerberus reveal during Season 3, which is expected to run until late May.

Players who pre-order the next Call of Duty game may also unlock a Frank Woods character in Warzone, as was the case with 2020’s Black Ops: Cold War.

Dataminers also reportedly discovered code suggesting Activision may be planning Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone crossovers with Fallout, Gundam and The Crow in Season 4.

It been claimed that this year’s Call of Duty is a new Black Ops game set in the early 1990s during the Gulf War, with development being led by Treyarch.
