Call of Duty 2024 May NOT be Titled ‘Black Ops Gulf War’ After All

The upcoming Call of Duty installment for 2024, previously speculated to be titled ‘Black Ops Gulf War’ (BOGW), might not bear that name after all. Following a cryptic teaser from Microsoft hinting at the reveal date of “the next installment of a beloved franchise,” speculation has soared within the community. Fans are now decoding and speculating on the [REDACTED] parts of the article and the viral featured image to uncover potential clues.

Twitter user ‘Desire’ (@Deziah) was among the first to share their edited version of the original image, inserting what could possibly be the logos initially concealed in the Xbox Wire blog article. Their speculation suggests that the upcoming game might instead be named ‘Black Ops V,’ contrary to earlier reports:

It’s worth noting that the last Black Ops game, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, was actually the fifth entry in Treyarch’s Black Ops series, released in 2020. But whether the new game incorporates a numerical designation or not, it marks a significant milestone as the first Call of Duty title with a four-year development cycle.

Furthermore, credible insiders have suggested that it will feature a full-fledged Open World campaign, built entirely from scratch without recycling assets from previous titles. Rumors also hint at the return of community-beloved round-based Zombies maps, with potentially four such maps at launch.

With both anticipation and expectations reaching unprecedented levels, many wonder if this innovative approach finally signals a redemption arc for Activision. What are your thoughts on this reportedly groundbreaking Call of Duty title? Share your opinions in the comments below!
