New leašk suggests Call of Duty 2020 will cover both the Vietnam and Korean wars over a period of 40ļ·ŗ years

澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Call of Duty: Modern Warfare isn't even out yet, but we already know far more than we ougš ht to about Call of Duty 2020, which was reportedš³ to have undergone a massive overhaul and shift in development team (from Sledgehammer Games to Treyarch) sometime earlier this year.
According to that leak, Call of Duty 2020 is now going to be the fifth entry in Treyarch's Black Ops franchise, following the release of Call of Duty: 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Black Ops 4 last year, after originally being planned for 2021 but being brought forward in light of development trouble at Sledgehammerš“š, who will now be on supporting duties for the title.
, who previously leaked the name of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare before its official reveal earlier this year, and now has provided more info about the upcoming Black Ops title via a single Tweet, which you can read below.Call of Duty 202į£0 has been under 2 names thus far.Call of Duty: Black Ops Call of Duty: Black Ops VSet during the Cold War. Spans the entire 40+ years and incs Vietnam and Korean War. Described as even more gritty and gruesome than Modern Warfare. I'm not joking.

That's right, just as this year'sā± Call of Duty confusingly shares the same name with its 2007 counterpart, it's looking likely that Call of Duty 2020 could do the same thing, emphasising a return to the grittier roots of the Black Ops franchise after recent instalments went full-on sci-fi with the ongoing saga.
While Call of Duty has covered both Vietnam and the Cold War in the past, the Korean Wars, which took place in the early 195š°0's when North Korea invaded South Korea before they were successfully repelled with the help of international force, remains an anomaly in the shooter franchise's history-hopping series of campaigns.
As foār the comment that Call of Duty 2020 will be "even more gritty and gruesome" than Modern Warfare, which is already receiving criticism for its controversial imagery and depiction of real life conflict, well... I šŖcertainly wouldn't put it past a developer like Treyarch.
We won't be hearing anything official about Call of Duty 2020 until long after Modern Warfare releases, so don't expect comment from Activision or Treš§yarch on the matter anytime soon. In the meantime, stay tuned to GamesRadar+, as we'll cover any more news about the game once we learn anything more.
