If numerous rumors about Name of Obligation 2022 are correct, it’s going to reboot Name of Obligation: Trendy Warfare 2 and be a follow-up to 2019’s Name of Obligation: Trendy Warfare from Infinity Ward. If the most recent rumors in regards to the sport are true, it may launch this October. The million-dollar query is when this October. Sadly, the rumors do not expose this important element, they solely point out the month of October as a basic goal. If an October launch sounds acquainted, it is as a result of 2019’s hit in October, in contrast to its two predecessors, 2020’s Name of Obligation: Black Ops Chilly Struggle and 2021’s Name of Obligation: Vanguard, each of which did not promote as effectively. In different phrases, Activision thinks transferring this yr’s installment again as much as October might assist with gross sales.
The knowledge comes the best way of outstanding Call of Duty insider and leaker, Tom Henderson, who notes {that a} “huge” Name of Obligation: Warzone might observe shortly after the discharge of Name of Obligation: 2022 in October. Including to this, Henderson claims the sport will proceed a creating custom for the collection, which is wait till the summer season for a reveal.
“As anticipated, it is wanting like this yr’s Name of Obligation title, Trendy Warfare II (2022), will likely be revealed in the summertime,” mentioned Henderson. “Listening to rumblings that the title might launch in October on account of Vanguard’s poor gross sales efficiency, with a ‘huge’ Warzone replace coming quickly after.”
That is the place the report ends. In the intervening time of publishing, neither Activision nor Infinity Ward nor anybody rumored to be concerned with the rumored sport’s growth has acknowledged or addressed Henderson’s report in any capability. We do not anticipate this altering, but when it does, we’ll make sure to replace the story accordingly. Within the meantime, take all of this — which is totally unofficial and topic to vary — with a grain of salt.
