Rumor: Call of Duty 2021 will be set during World War II era
A new rumor about the upcoming Call of Duty 2021 game has surfaced which claims to leak the setting of the new title.
The newest Call of Duty title is set to be released during Q4 of this year from Activision.
Known leaker Victor_Z posted a couple of tweets overnight suggesting some details on the setting for the 2021 Call of Duty game. In his tweets, he states that the 2021 game will be set during World War II era.
His tweet included a hammer emoji, probably in reference to Sledgehammer Games as the game’s development studio, and the WWII cover art.
A user asked him if he meant to say that it would be ‘WW3’ style game instead, but Victor_Z responded again saying WWII.
A “WW3” game, which some people have suggested, would not make sense really seeing as ‘WW3’ style game would be similar to that of the story behind Modern Warfare franchise.
Of course, this is just a rumor for now and not confirmed by Activision, so take it with a grain of salt. However, the leak, Victor_Z has known to accurately leak information in gaming, including Call of Duty. He accurately stated that the Black Ops Cold War reveal trailer back in August would include a 10 second MP preview, amongst other information he has shared in the past.
Sledgehammer Games’ last title was Call of Duty: WWII back in 2017, which focused on the European front of the war. There’s still some moments and conflicts of WWII that can be explored by Sledgehammer Games if this rumor is in fact true.
Activision has not announced any details about the 2021 Call of Duty game. The company only just confirmed that a new ‘premium entry’ into the franchise will release in Q4 this year.
