There’s a new rumor suggesting that Call Of Duty is going back to the future in 2025.

While reports of Call of Duty 2024 being a new title in the Call of Duty: Black Ops series did the rounds last month, it’s perhaps surprising to hear that Call of Duty 2025 is another Black Ops title. According to Insider-Gaming’s Tom Henderson, who spoke to several sources, it’s codenamed Saturn and serves as a direct sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

New leaks suggest that the next game in the franchise will be another installment of, which could be the kick in the pants the series needs. The annual franchise, which most recently saw the release of the lackluster , is starting to stagnate. Concerns over its escalating price point, widening gaps caused by pay-to-win policies, increasingly enormous file sizes, and slowing trickle of new content have driven many players away from the franchise as a whole.

The next entry in the Call of Duty series, set for a 2024 release, is a Black Ops title developed by Treyarch, according to a report from Windows Central.

If rumour speak true, the next Call of Duty game will be another entry in the Black Ops series. It'll also, allegedly, take place during the first Gulf War across 1990 and 1991, in which a US-led coalition of countries including the UK, Saudi Arabia and Egypt invaded Iraq in response to the Saddam Hussein government's conquest of Kuwait.

Rumours are pointing towards the next Call of Duty game being a new entry in the Black Ops series, set during the Gulf War of the early 1990s.

Call of Duty release in 2024 is reportedly a new entry in the Black Ops series, set around the 1990s Gulf War. As per Windows Central, the title will feature a ‘nuanced' narrative that jumps between different factions within the conflict, connecting to the Cold War. Keeping with the time period, weaponry and gadgets will bear a traditional look and feel, unlike the futuristic holographic-sited guns we've seen in recent Call of Duty games. Hopefully, Activision takes some lessons from the poorly-received Modern Warfare 3 and doubles down on the campaign aspects — otherwise, building the overarching lore seems futile, as players would simply begin skipping it for multiplayer.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has come under heavy criticism in the wake of its launch from critics and audiences alike (even though it seems to be doing well where engagement numbers are concerned), but the yearly Call of Duty machine stops for nothing, and details on next year’s instalment in the shooter franchise seem to have emerged.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is now out and in the hands of players, which obviously means people are now wondering what the next game in the series is going to be. According to leaks earlier this year, Treyarch is set to take the reins once more with another Black Ops game set during the Gulf War, but a new report has backed up those leaks and revealed even further details about what we can expect when the next Call of Duty game rolls around next year.

As we already know, the Call of Duty train does not stop even with the current release. As players are spending time with Modern Warfare 3, we’re getting some whispers on the next release of Call of Duty.

Following some initial rumblings earlier this year, a new report has lend further credence to suggestions 2024's Call of Duty game will be another entry in the Black Ops series, this one now said to be taking place in the Gulf War.

Call of Duty 2024 is indeed another Black Ops game, this time set during the Gulf War in the '90s, reports Windows Central.

Fresh details about 2024’s Call of Duty game have seemingly leaked.

Call of Duty fans are back in their nostalgic griping after comparing Modern Warfare 3’s beta against older titles like Black Ops 3.

Call of Duty fans are waiting on the next mainline entry to the franchise this year, but that hasn’t slowed down rumors of what’s coming after. With such a long-running franchise that has fans worldwide, it’s not surprising we’re already talking about what’s coming in 2025. That’s right, 2025’s release and not the upcoming 2024 release. So, you are best to take this as nothing more than a rumor right now. However, here’s what’s being shared online right now and what the future might hold for this IP.

Black Ops 3 is one of the most beloved entries in the entire franchise. A classic Treyarch title through and through, many remember it as the shining example from Call of Duty’s jetpack era thanks to a brilliant campaign, an unbelievably imaginative take on Zombies, and arguably the most well-balanced multiplayer system in a CoD title.

Ever since World at War, Zombies Mode has been a beloved staple of the Call of Duty franchise. One of the most popular iterations came in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, which received several map pack DLCs, including the Kino Der Toten map.

Longtime Call of Duty lead David Vonderhaar, best known as the studio design director behind the entire Black Ops franchise, is leaving Activision and Treyarch altogether. 

Blood of the Dead – Black Ops 4’s reimagining of Mob of the Dead – features one of the more convoluted Easter Eggs in a series that’s renowned for complicated secrets.
