The Next 'Call of Duty' Will Reportedly Be a Reboot of 'Black Ops'

According to new information, the next installment of the Call of Duty franchise may be a reboot of the Black Ops series from long-time developer Treyarch. LongSensation, who broke the news that the forthcoming Modern Warfare game would be arriving and as a reboot, has leaked the information about the classic FPS.

According to their sources, the title name is being considered to be Call of Duty: Black Ops V or just Call of Duty: Black Ops. It’s also expected to take fans back to the Cold War, Vietnam, and the Korean wars, spanning over 40-years of global conflicts. It is also being referred to a more gruesome and gritty experience than Modern Warfare, of which developer Infinity Ward stressed as a grim experience in its own right.

News of Treyarch helming a possible reboot of Black Ops has been speculated by Kotaku earlier this year in a detailed report covering internal conflicts over which dev team would helm the project. Activision has yet to make a comment, and most likely won’t as it’s busy promoting the October 25 release of Modern Warfare.

Call of Duty 2020 has been under 2 names thus far.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
Call of Duty: Black Ops V

Set during the Cold War. Spans the entire 40+ years and incs Vietnam and Korean War. Described as even more gritty and gruesome than Modern Warfare.

I'm not joking.
