While manyCall of Dutyfans are still busy withModern Warfareand the recently-releasedWarzone,Call of Duty 2020is still expected to launch by the end of the year. Official details for the game remain scarce at the time of this writing, but a new leak has potentially revealed a lot of details about what fans can expect from the upcoming game.
This leak comes from TheGamingRevolution, who has been accurate aboutCall of Dutyleaks in the past. According to TheGamingRevolution,Call of Duty 2020will be aBlack Opsrebootset during the Cold War, with a heavy focus on Vietnam, as has been previously rumored. The game is being developed as a collaboration between Raven Software, Sledgehammer Games, and Treyarch, with Treyarch taking the lead on development.

Currently,Call of Duty 2020is being referred to under thecodename Project Zeus, but its actual title will likely be simplyBlack Ops,Call of Duty: Black Operations, orCall of Duty: Black Ops 5. The game will supposedly feature characters from the previousBlack Opsseries, like Alex Mason and Frank Woods, though they will be played by new actors, similarly to how Captain Price was re-cast forModern Warfare. The campaign will be more realistic, and will show the perspective of US forces, South Vietnam forces, and Vietcong forces.
As far as multiplayer goes, TheGamingRevolution reports that theBlack Opsreboot maps will use the 3-lane system that Treyarch multiplayer maps are known for. There will be traditional, smaller-scaleCall of Dutyaction along with the returningGround War mode, which will allow for 32v32 like inModern Warfare. TheGamingRevolution detailed one Ground War map, which will supposedly be a snow map with a frozen lake, with players able to utilize snowmobiles and tanks.
TheGamingRevolution also teased some of theCall of Dutykillstreaksthat will be featured in theBlack Opsreboot. Apparently, there will be a flamethrower killstreak, along with UAV and counter-UAV returning. Players will also supposedly be able to use a bomber plane that will destroy airborne killstreaks like attack helicopters, plus the dog killstreak will be returning in some capacity.
In its current state, theBlack Opsreboot uses stim hots for health regeneration like inBlack Ops 4, as opposed to automatic health regeneration like inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare. And finally, multiplayer operators will return as opposed to theSpecialists that were used inBlack Ops 4.
Fans should take all of this information with a massive grain of salt. While TheGamingRevolution has been accurate aboutCall of Dutyleaks, especially as they pertain to theWarzonebattle royale game, it’s possible that his information is incorrect here or that his sources are leading him astray. However, this isn’t the first time that we’ve heard thatCall of Duty 2020will be aBlack Opsreboot set during the Cold War, so it seems like that bit of information is likely to be true, at the very least. Luckily, newCall of Dutygames are typically revealed in May or June each year, so fans should find out more information in just a couple of months.
Call of Duty 2020is in development for unspecified platforms.
