With the bloated, undercooked, and outdated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 still fresh in our collective consciousness, it's only fitting that a new report would out next years offering well in advance. Developed this time by Treyarch, Call of Duty 2024 will reportedly be another entry in the Black Ops series, set during the First Gulf War.
According to multiple sources, Windows Central's Jez Corden reports that Call of Duty 2024 will focus on the CIA and explore the United States's role in the often-overlooked conflict. Additionally, previous leaks indicate a return to round-based zombies modes, as well as remastered maps from previous Black Ops games. If Black Ops "6" continues previous naming conventions, we should learn more about Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War in the months to come.
For those too young to remember, in 1990, President George H.W. Bush led a coalition of 42 nations against Iraq and its leader, Saddam Hussein, in order to liberate occupied Kuwait in what was the world's first truly televised war. Images of the infamous Highway of Death characterised the conflict (which included some of the largest tank battles in history) and were plastered over the news, presaging the kind of constant coverage we get today. Retreating Iraqi forces, quitting Kuwait, would lose an estimated 1400 - 2000 vehicles and tanks to overwhelming American, British, Canadian and French air superiority in a devastating rout.
What do you think of the next Call of Duty setting? Are you excited to see a return to the Black Ops series, or is franchise fatigue finally beginning to set in? Let us know in the comments section below.

And is probably an expansion to this years meaghre offering..
Probably be DLC for Black Ops Cold War!
This sounds good to me so far. I like that setting better and Black ops is just more fun to me than Modern Warfare. I’d love some of the older maps, as that’s the only thing i like about MW3 so far is the older maps in multiplayer. Hope to learn more about this in the coming months.
Featuring real battles that took place in the Iraqi arctic, Iraqi amazon rainforest, and the Iraqi great barrier reef.
Welp this campaign should be interesting
I contacted Activision and told them about a fight I had with my mother-in-law on Thanksgiving so they will make the next CoD about it.
Could we not just have Desert Strike collection and be done with COD. Desert Strike was even a sandbox game!
Cold War actually had quite a good campaign... keen to see how this turns out. Interesting setting too... word up son 👍🏻
Treyarch is the better studio, but since it's an annual Activision thing they'll probably fumble it.
Don’t care. Been trying to ween myself and group off this for years and definitely now is not a company that i want to support
@Balie3000 yh that campaign was a blast. Multiple endings as well I believe.
Please take a year off for everyone’s sake
