REPORTS: Call Of Duty 2020 To Be A ‘Soft’ Reboot Of Black Ops?

Activision released its newest Call of Duty in October 2019 under the name Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Developed by Infinity Ward, the game has become successful and popular in a brief period. The video game developer also released the Warzone mode, which includes the 150-player battle royale mode.

Earlier it was reported that Activision is already making plans for another Call Of Duty video game. Treyarch was supposedly going to reboot Call of Duty: Black Ops in 2020 alongside Raven Software and Sledgehammer Games.

New Call Of Duty Game To Be A Soft Black Ops Reboot?

Famous COD leaker TheGamingRevolution has now shared some interesting information about the next video game in the series. Few genuinely legitimate sources informed him that although the game could be connected to the Black Ops storyline, the phrase “Black Ops” is not going to be included in the video game’s name. A strong possibility for a title could be Call Of Duty: Vietnam based around the Vietnam War. It could be a soft reboot of the Black Ops series with some main characters like Woods and Mason. Marketing the new game with a COD Vietnam title could be an optimum way to get a lot of sales, although these are just some theories floating around.

Meanwhile, James C Burn, the voice actor for Sgt. Frank Woods in the Black Ops series, did a recent live-stream session discussing the latest leaks and rumors. He mentioned that Activision had not contacted him for this year’s COD title. This could mean Activision does not plan on approaching the legendary voice actor until very later on. This happened in the case of Black Ops 4: Blackout. It could also mean Activision plan on using new voice actors as they did for Modern Warfare in which few new characters were added.

As game development is often subjected to changes and misinterpretations, it is always advised to approach video game leaks with discretion.

Possible Release Date For COD 2020?

TheGamingRevolution joined by dkdynamite for the video, mentioned Activision could be planning a Holiday 2020 launch for the new game. This makes sense as next-generation consoles like PS5 and Xbox Series X are also reportedly set for a release during a similar time-frame. Activision reportedly was already lagging behind schedule for the development of the new Call Of Duty title. The current global scenario amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic certainly does not help its plans.

Activision was probably planning on officially revealing the new Call Of Duty video game during E3 2020. But the event got canceled. As for a possible reveal date for the new Call Of Duty title, the developers could be planning on a private reveal within a few weeks.
