Call of Duty 2020has broken a decade-long tradition by not being revealed before the end of May, and this could be for any number of reasons. The most likely explanation is COVID-19, but regardless, many are expecting an official reveal soon. There’s a good chance that it’ll happen at theupcoming PS5 event, and this latest leak may even support that.
Rumors have indicated thatCall of Duty 2020would be related to theBlack Opssub-franchise, involve the Cold War, possibly have the titleBlack Ops Cold War, and far more. The latest leak holds more water and clarifies some of this information, with one data miner finding files on PSN. These files contained the logo for the game, and considering where it’s from, seems like a legitimate possibility.

The image simple states, “Call of Duty: Black Ops,” set to a backdrop of black and white CIA images. There’s a map, a mushroom cloud, an official document, and a layout of a launch site making up the background, but this doesn’t obviously confirm if this is a remake ofBlack Ops,a soft-reboot likeModern Warfare, or a brand new title. Close inspection gives the game a time period.
On the aforementioned document, fans have noticed the date of “1976.” This would seemingly suggest it’s more of a soft reboot or new title in the sub-franchise, as the original game takes place between 1961 and 1968. Others have pointed out that a reliableCall of Dutyleaker has suggested that the game would replay a mission fromTreyarch’s originalBlack Opsbut have an entirely different ending, diverting from there. This would make sense, although depending on which mission is replayed, that’s a bit of a leap in time. Those interested in the image can check it outhere.
Because of the nature of the leak (originating from PSN), it is more believable than some of theCall of Duty 2020rumorsout there. It must be said, though, that it should be taken with a grain of salt, as all rumors do, but fans can expect a proper reveal sooner rather than later.
Call of Duty 2020is in development.
