Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Sequel Seemingly Teased by Insider

Rumors are swirling about a potential sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, thanks to a recent tease from an insider. Call of Duty has been a dominant force in the gaming industry for over two decades, with sub-franchises like Modern Warfare and Black Ops finding their stride in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Treyarch, the developer behind the Black Ops series, has been consistently delivering games since 2010, exploring various settings and even venturing into futuristic realms with jetpacks and wall-running. However, the last installment marked a return to the franchise's roots.

While no official details have been revealed about Treyarch's next Call of Duty game, it is expected to launch next year. Leaks have surfaced suggesting that the game will focus on the Iraq War, though concrete information is scarce. This direction would overlap with the themes and settings explored in the Modern Warfare series, but it's likely that the upcoming game will have distinguishing features. In a new video shared by Call of Duty insider RalphsValve, real footage from the Gulf War/Operation Desert Storm, a conflict that took place in the early 1990s, is showcased. The video also includes voice-over from Adler, a character from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, mentioning the supposed demise of Perseus, the antagonist of the latter game. This raises intriguing possibilities, suggesting that Perseus may still be alive or hinting at a larger conspiracy that ties back to Black Ops Cold War, which is set about a decade before the Gulf War.

As of now, there is no official information available, and we can only engage in speculation. It is anticipated that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be the title released later this year, which has surprised some fans as it is unusual to see back-to-back Call of Duty entries in consecutive years. Further details about the upcoming Black Ops game will probably not emerge until the following summer.
