The latest Call of Duty game is so far referred to as CoD 2020 or Black Ops 5: Cold War. The title seems to be quite advanced if a new rumor is to be believed. Warzone is also supposed to play a role in CoD 2020.
This is the rumor: It comes from YouTuber XclusiveAce, who has made accurate predictions in the past and is considered a trustworthy source in the community. XclusiveAce released a video in which he said he has “a lot of new information about Black Ops 5” from a leaker. This allegedly included gameplay and new map information. The identity of the leaker has not been revealed.
The alleged leak has now been spread by CharlieIntel and streamer Drift0r – we refer to these sources here.
This video from XclusiveAce, which our sources are referring to, is currently no longer available. It is suspected that Activision was involved in the deletion of the video.
Rumor speaks of a new Warzone map and a lot of water
What about Warzone? In Drift0r’s video, it is said that with the release of the new CoD, a new Warzone map is also supposed to appear. This map is said to take place in Russia.
Furthermore, the rumor confirmed that the setting of the new CoD is supposed to be the Cold War. This would also fit with the Warzone map.
What about the new CoD? The game is said to be already very far in development. The source mentions that the campaign is already fully playable, but some animations are still unfinished.
Moreover, it has been said about the game that it is actually in good condition and the multiplayer maps are almost finished.
Several further details have allegedly been leaked:
- The regular mini-map is back and comparable to the ones before Modern Warfare
- In the multiplayer maps and the new Warzone map, water will play a major role and you should also be able to navigate through it, including swimming
- Unlimited sprint is back
- So far, about 10 maps have been developed – one of them is very small and takes place on a boat in the Black Sea
- Scorestreaks are supposed to return
- Currently there is no “Ghost” perk in the game
- Just like in Black Ops 4, there are supposed to be 150 health points, which can regenerate themselves
- There is no Gunsmith – creating a class is still supposed to be “unique”
- In the new CoD, there is no Gunfight. The 6-vs-6 mode is standard here
How trustworthy is it all? Of course, one must view the rumor with caution. The alleged leak remains just a rumor for now. Nevertheless, XclusiveAce is known and appreciated in the community. On reddit, this rumor is spreading like wildfire.
What else is known about the game? As early as May 2019, the US site Kotaku reported that the new CoD is supposed to be a Black Ops.
In March of this year, there was a major leak regarding the new CoD. There is supposed to be a Zombie mode again. Additionally, the campaign is said to cover the Cold War, with characters Alex Mason and Sgt. Frank Woods returning. The leak briefly mentioned the future of Warzone.
