Call Of Duty 2024 Rumored to Continue with Black Ops Series

The upcoming Call of Duty game for 2024 is rumored to continue the Black Ops series, delving into historical real-world events once again. This time, it is expected to focus on the Gulf War of the 1990s, as previously speculated. According to reports from Windows Central, Treyarch is developing the game, which is currently referred to by code names internally. While the title has not been finalized, it is tentatively known as Black Ops 6 and will center around clandestine CIA operations in support of the US-led coalition against Iraq during Saddam Hussein's regime.

Since this is set in the relatively recent past, it will feature real-world technology from that period instead of futuristic tech. It could explore the end of the Cold War, in line with the series' known paranoid-thriller style of alternate history storytelling. Additionally, the game may include the return of Black Ops maps and the Zombies mode. Leaked images from the next Treyarch Call of Duty game have recently surfaced.

The last game released by Treyarch was Black Ops: Cold War in 2020, making a 2024 release an unexpectedly long development time for the series. This would be quite different from the quick production of Modern Warfare 3, which received a fair amount of negative feedback. The report also mentions the likelihood of Activision offering early access for the campaign as a preorder bonus, as well as weeks of early access for other modes.

This marks the second Call of Duty game released under Microsoft, following their recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Despite now owning the series, Microsoft has committed to keeping it available on PlayStation as part of regulatory agreements. Activision has long-term plans for the series, with releases scheduled through 2027. For those interested in the latest Call of Duty, it can be found on sale for Black Friday.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I am thrilled about the prospect of a new Call of Duty game set in the Gulf War. The Black Ops series has always been my favorite, and I can't wait to see how Treyarch will bring the early 1990s battlegrounds to life. I'm particularly interested in the game's focus on clandestine CIA operations, as this could add a new level of depth and intrigue to the campaign.

While I'm excited about the potential of Call of Duty 2024, I'm also a bit concerned about the long development time. Black Ops: Cold War was released in 2020, so it will have been four years since the last Treyarch game by the time this one comes out. I hope that the extra development time will allow Treyarch to create a truly polished and immersive experience, but I'm worried that it could lead to burnout among the developers.
