Here’s everything we know so far about the new Call of Duty 2021.
A new Call of Duty is officially in the works and will release in late 2021, Activision has confirmed. It’s not a huge surprise giving that Call of Duty games release every year like clockwork, but what is a surprise is that Call of Duty 2021 will reportedly return to a WW2 setting and is called ‘Call of Duty WW2: Vanguard’. It’s understandable then that Activision has confirmed the new Call of Duty is being developed by Sledgehammer Games, who developed Call of Duty: WW2. While Activision hasn’t officially revealed the next Call of Duty, details on the new COD are slowly beginning to emerge and we’re starting to get a good idea of what to expect. Read on for everything we know about the new Call of Duty 2021. During Activision Blizzard’s Q4 2020 earnings call (via GamesRadar), speaking about Call of Duty, the publisher confirmed that it has « another strong premium release planned for Q4 in 2021 ». That means we can expect the new Call of Duty to arrive in late 2021. Typically we see mainline Call of Duty games land in October, so it’s possible we will see the new COD in this window. However, given the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s possible we may see Call of Duty 2021 delayed until November – which is what happened with Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War. The new Call of Duty will return to WW2, according to a report by ModernWarzone (via GamesRadar ) which was later verified by both Eurogamer and VGC. According to these reports, Call of Duty 2021 is called ‘Call of Duty WW2: Vanguard’, and Activision has since confirmed that Sledgehammer Games is the developer. According to Eurogamer, the new Call of Duty will have a « traditional » World War 2 setting, contrary to ModernWarzone’s claims that the game will be set in an « alternative timeline ».
