Simply a few months in the past, alleged particulars for the 2025 Name Of Responsibility recreation leaked on-line, claiming it to be one other Black Ops recreation and a direct sequel to the 2012 entry – which got here as a shock.
With that recreation anticipated to be in growth at Sledgehammer Video games (which final labored on 2023’s Fashionable Warfare 3), meaning Infinity Ward ought to be dealing with the 2026 title.
As is conventional for the sequence at this level, early data for that recreation has apparently additionally leaked and it’s reportedly set to tread acquainted floor by bringing again wall working and a number of maps from Fashionable Warfare 3… not final yr’s reboot, however the unique 2011 recreation.
