[jwplayer sEnFsekG] While the Call of Duty franchise has 17 mainline entries covering a wide array of timelines, two names stand out as the most iconic. Both the Black Ops series and the Modern Warfare series have seen the most iterations over the years. Treyarch has already released four titles in the Black Ops series with Cold War just weeks away. Meanwhile, Infinity Ward has four entries in the Modern Warfare series, the original trilogy along with 2019\u2019s reboot. Now, it seems as though a fifth could also be on the way with Infinity Ward at the helm. Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software will reportedly be taking a back seat. Instead of the typical three-year development cycle, Infinity Ward has just two-years to work with. We\u2019re still 12 months off from 2021\u2019s mystery release, but we may already have our first details on next year\u2019s title. \u201cIt\u2019s looking like CoD for 2021 is another Modern Warfare title of some kind,\u201d prominent leaker Tom Henderson revealed. Not a whole lot is known beyond that key detail, though the setting for the next release appears to be locked in. \u201cUnderstandably not a lot of information as of yet, but it\u2019s a modern-day setting,\u201d he confirmed. Given Modern Warfare\u2019s hard reboot with 2019\u2019s release, could a new sequel be the next step? This would essentially bypass the original Modern Warfare 2 from 2009 if Activision opts for another identical title. To avoid even more confusion, there\u2019s a good chance the name is a little different, similar to how Black Ops added Cold War to the title for 2020\u2019s drop, despite it being a direct follow up to Black Ops 1. So expect to see Modern Warfare: \u2018something something\u2019 as the likely 2021 title. This could see a direct continuation from where 2019\u2019s game left off. John Price is looking to assemble a team of classic characters to put a stop to Russian terrorist Victor Zakhaev. If Warzone\u2019s ongoing storyline doesn\u2019t beat the single-player campaign to the punch, this could be our objective in 2021\u2019s release. https:\/\/twitter.com\/_TomHenderson_\/status\/1321869882112299010 While this aspect is purely speculation, the leaker also considered the original Modern Warfare 2 being bundled in. No different from how Infinity Warfare launched with Modern Warfare remastered in 2016. We\u2019re still months away from any official information on the 2021 title, so take this with a grain of salt for now. Black Ops Cold War is the focus for Activision. Anything regarding next year\u2019s game will be kept under wraps for quite some time yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Call of Duty 2021 leaks hint at new Modern Warfare follow up Infinity WardBefore Black Ops Cold War arrives, we may already have our first hint of next year\u2019s Call of Duty setting as a prominent leaker has teased a new Modern Warfare sequel.
