There’s also a rumor that’s been going around which suggests that there will be another free to play Call of Duty game coming after the release of what’ll reportedly be a Black Ops reboot, as Activision is more than happy with the success of Warzone.
Last year, Activision decided to officially reveal the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reboot at the end of May, so we could be close to the game’s official reveal. There’s a chance that we could see the franchise’s next installment get revealed during the PlayStation 5 event on Thursday, but there’s also a good chance that Activision will decide to reveal the game on their own.
Regardless, expect to see the game get revealed in the coming weeks, as it’s still on schedule to be released in either October or November.
