Call of Duty 2024 game setting and timeline
Going by the previously leaked concept art, from July 2022, it looks like the Call of Duty arriving in 2024 will have something to do with Mogadishu. This intel was reportedly found in Warzone Mobile’s game files. The term Mogadishu, as per speculations, refers to the Battle of Mogadishu, also known as the Black Hawk Down incident.
The said battle took place in Somalia in the year 1993. Which implies that the next Black Ops could feature a timeline showcasing US intervention in Somalia during the early 90s.
Interestingly, industry insider Tom Henderson, in one of his tweets from 2021, had revealed that the new Treyarch title maybe semi-futuristic. And that it will take place in varied time periods.

Which game engine will be used for CoD in 2024?
Beginning with 2022’s Modern Warfare II, the upcoming pattern will follow every Call of Duty game being made on a unified engine. Simply put, it’s an advanced version of the IW engine. Earlier this year, in June, while interacting with Washington Post, General Manager of Call of Duty, Johanna Faries revealed the next Black Ops will be similar to MWII. But it will still feel a lot different.
Basically, Treyarch titles will appear in their own texture, being away from Infinity Ward‘s series, despite sharing the same engine. So far, it seems likely that the new game in 2024 might be the next Black Ops installment.
