We have some new details on Call of Duty for 2026 and 2027.
On Twitter, zvis_ceral, who describes themselves on their profile as a leaker and dataminer, made this statement:
“CALL OF DUTY 2026
“Project Devilwood” in development at Infinity Ward and will be a Ghosts title.
CALL OF DUTY 2027
“Project Anvil” in development at Sledgehammer and will be an Advanced Warfare title.”
They shared credit for this leak with Vondyispog.
Dataminers have been trying to get advanced info on Call of Duty games for a while, but now is a particularly interesting time to see it happen. While Call of Duty Modern Warfare III is the start of Microsoft publishing Call of Duty games, that title was really rushed to development while Activision, still headed by Bobby Kotick at the time, wasn’t sure if they would get purchased by Microsoft.
The Call of Duty titles coming up for the next four or five years will all definitely have been in production from even before Activision was talking to Microsoft about an acquisition, and now these games need to be adjusted to account for the details of those deals. So, for example, they should be coming to Nintendo platforms, and many fans expect that this means the games are coming to the Switch 2, with its upgraded hardware.
But aside from that, these games also need to be retrofitted to be playable on the cloud. Because of the twisted regulation that happened within each region and country, most of the world will get cloud Call of Duty via Ubisoft, while specific countries in Europe can get the service from multiple providers.
But what’s really interesting here is it seems we will see the Call of Duty games move away from the Black Ops and Modern Warfare series for these years. This may simply be the foresight of gamers needing a break from those two continuities, but this also looks like Activision taking some risks.
Call of Duty Ghosts and Call of Duty Advanced Warfare released in 2013 and 2014 respectively. Both games had their fans, but it seemed that they were going to be one offs that allowed their studios to just experiment with different ideas. Both are set in the future, allowing them to explore ideas on future technology and weaponry.
Both games also had their own continuities, and yes, their endings were open ended that allowed for them to make sequels. Now, neither game was particularly loved by critics, but the games were still huge blockbusters. So maybe there’s a reason for Activision to want to return to these games.
If you look at all the abovementioned details, though, you may realize that Call of Duty Infinite Warfare also fits this criteria. While it wasn’t part of this leak, could Activision also be planning a Call of Duty Infinite Warfare sequel? We obviously won’t know in the near future, but it’s certainly something that looks more possible now.
