We Might Be Getting a New ‘Call of Duty’ Game

In the world of gaming, one thing you can usually rely on is the annual release of a ‘Call of Duty’ title. And it seems there’s some buzz suggesting an exciting update to the series is on the horizon. The development of ‘Call of Duty’ games typically rotates between three main studios – Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Sledgehammer Games – each known for their unique contributions to the franchise. While the series has seen its fair share of highs and lows, there’s always hope that a new release could strike the right chord and become another fan favourite.

Treyarch, known for classics like ‘Call of Duty 3’ and ‘World at War,’ has become synonymous with the ‘Black Ops’ series. Their latest offering, ‘Black Ops Cold War,’ hit the shelves in 2020, signalling that it might be time for their next instalment to be unveiled. After two years of ‘Modern Warfare,’ fans might welcome the return to ‘Black Ops,’ especially if it captures the essence of its predecessors.

With Xbox set to host a game showcase on 9th June, anticipation is building for a potential ‘Call of Duty’ announcement. While the details are shrouded in secrecy, the teaser image featuring cryptic blacked-out text suggests a connection to the ‘Black Ops’ franchise.

Rumours suggest that the new ‘Black Ops’ game could be set during the Gulf War, a significant conflict that the series has yet to explore. It’s a setting that demands a delicate touch, something that hasn’t always been Call of Duty’s forte. Nevertheless, Treyarch has a track record of delivering compelling campaigns, offering hope for an engaging narrative.

Although ‘Black Ops Cold War’ received mixed reviews, factors like a rushed development cycle and behind-the-scenes challenges may have contributed to its shortcomings. A new ‘Black Ops’ title presents an opportunity to reignite the series’ former glory, despite the ongoing challenges of live-service gaming.
