Activision: New Call of Duty Will Be Released in Late 2021.

Big news from the gaming world: Activision has spilled the beans to investors about the upcoming installment of the Call of Duty franchise. Set to launch in the fourth quarter of this year, the game is in the capable hands of Sledgehammer Games and will be available for both PC and the current-gen consoles, Xbox One and PS5.

What’s more, this new release is slated to integrate seamlessly with the existing Call of Duty ecosystem. This hints at potential crossovers—think weapons and characters making their way into Warzone, and in-game events shaping the landscape of the popular battle royale. Rest assured, more details are on the horizon.

While an official announcement is still pending, rumors are already swirling. Whispers suggest that gamers might be plunged into an alternate history—one where Hitler didn’t face defeat in 1945, extending the war into the 1950s. Insiders are buzzing with the potential subtitle for the game: WWII Vanguard.

This isn’t Sledgehammer Games’ first rodeo with the Call of Duty franchise. The studio has previously contributed to titles like Black Ops Cold War and the third installment of Modern Warfare. Their 2017 release, subtitled “WWII,” was a hit among fans and critics alike.
