[News] Call of Duty 2020 Release Date Could be “Very Soon” According to Leak

[Hossam Taibi]

 

Leaks have hardly been few and far between for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the highly-anticipated Call of Duty 2020 title. Following the recent accidental leak of The Red Door, an upcoming closed alpha for the game, a new leak now suggests that rumours of a delay are inaccurate and that the game’s release date could be very soon.

The Upcoming Call of Duty 2020 Release Date
The existence of an upcoming Call of Duty 2020 game was confirmed months ago by Activision. However, the publisher still has yet to officially announce it. While the title is widely-believed to be ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War,’ that hasn’t yet been formally confirmed. Certainly, it seems more and more likely that Activision plan to repeat their approach to releasing Call of Duty: Warzone; i.e., the publisher is likely to announce the game right before it first becomes available.

 

A recent leak from noted Call of Duty leaker Okami, who has previously leaked info which has proven accurate, claims that Activision plans to unveil Call of Duty 2020 “very soon”. This claim comes after recent rumours that the game has been delayed, although those rumours are unsubstantiated. Indeed, Okami goes on to address this specifically; they claim that the game was still on schedule as of a week ago.

At present, it looks increasingly likely that Activision is planning for the Call of Duty 2020 release date to fall in the end-of-year September-November window; traditionally the biggest period of the year for new game releases. Of course, we know that the closed alpha, ‘The Red Door,’ will probably be the first time that it’s playable. As a result, an official announcement is likely to come as and when that alpha is ready. It’s certainly possible that that time could come in the next couple of weeks. An early-August alpha would line up with a potential mid/late-September or early-October release date.
