Unsurprisingly, a little over a month since Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was released, rumors have begun to surface about Activision's 2026 entry into its long-running franchise.
Glow, glow, glow. Merrrrrrrry Christmas.
The rumor suggests that the game will be developed by Infinity Ward and will bring back one of the series' most divisive features. It's also said to be remastering maps from a game where the maps weren't the best.
As is always the case with rumors like this, take it with a pinch of salt until Activision or Microsoft reveal anything.
This latest round of rumors comes from prominent Call of Duty leaker, TheGhostOfHope.
Hope suggests that Infinity Ward's next title is set for release in 2026 and will bring back the incredibly divisive wall running/thrust jumping to the series. They also report that Omnimovement will likely be a mainstay in future Call of Duty games, given its success in Black Ops 6.
Infinity Ward will be utilizing Omnimovement and Wall Running.
Finally, Hope says that Infinity Ward will be "remastering a majority of Modern Warfare 3 (2011) maps" for the new game, an interesting choice, given they weren't the most well-received maps at the time....
