Are you excited for the next Call of Duty in 2018? Rumors say it will be a new entry in the Black Ops series. These are now being solidified by basketball superstar James Harden.
It’s not official yet, but according to rumors, the next entry in the Call of Duty franchise will be “Black Ops IV”. There have been rumors in the gaming community about this for weeks. Now, US Kotaku can also confirm the rumors. A source has reported to them that the circulating rumors are true.
Another hint is supposed to come from the outfit of a basketball player.
Call of Duty Black Ops 4 in 2018?
On his way to the game, NBA star James Harden wore a camouflage outfit with a cap that resembles the Black Ops 3 logo. However, the logo was simply extended by one more line.
For comparison, here is the logo of Call of Duty Black Ops 3:
Of course, the Roman numeral for four is not “IIII”, but “IV”. So there is no direct indication that it really is the logo of the new Black Ops installment. However, once again, Kotaku refers to its sources.
Call of Duty 2018 will be Black Ops IIII – say rumors
Two of these sources confirm that the next Call of Duty installment is indeed intended to be the fourth entry in the Black Ops series and is being developed by Treyarch. The studio has already developed the first three parts of BlOps. The 2018 installment is said to take place in the near future.
The basketball player James Harden is said to actually wear the official logo for Black Ops IIII according to Kotaku. Why there is a resistance against the typical spelling with IV is unclear. As always, we remind you that this is about rumors. Until the game is officially announced, you should take these with caution.
Harden is the current superstar of the NBA. It’s likely that he is using his popularity to start a viral and clever marketing campaign for Call of Duty. Perhaps Harden himself will be in the game.

Fans of Battlefield are also struggling with funny numbers. After the last part “Battlefield 1”, the next one is supposed to be “Battlefield V” and include a co-op mode.
