Obviously, since theCall of Duty 2022reveal news is coming from a single source that hasn’t been corroborated, it should be considered a rumor until proven otherwise. There’s also the fact that it’s still very early for aCall of Dutyannouncement and reveal.Call of Duty: Vanguardwasn’t revealed until August 2021, after all. The early reveal could be a result of frustrations with the current state ofCall of Duty, however.
Leaks have already all but confirmed the name of this year’sCall of Dutyproject. It’s said to be the sequel to the recently well-receivedCall of Duty: Modern Warfarereboot,Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
