What’s Next for Call of Duty? Leaks Hint at Major Franchise Shake-Ups

[AIcash]

Even without a standalone Zombies game, the future of Call of Duty appears packed with change. Recent leaks suggest the 2027 installment could launch an entirely new subseries — reportedly developed by Sledgehammer Games — and may not include a Zombies mode at all. If true, it would mark the franchise’s first brand-new subseries since Call of Duty: Vanguard.

Meanwhile, 2026 rumors point toward a return to the Modern Warfare saga, with Infinity Ward allegedly developing Modern Warfare 4. The title is expected to build on the multiplayer style of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and could reportedly drop support for older consoles like PS4 and Xbox One in favor of PC and current-generation hardware. Whether through new subseries or returning favorites, Call of Duty looks set to remain one of gaming’s busiest franchises in the years ahead.
