With the fairly rapid turnaround of newCall of Dutycontent that is released practically every year, there are always swathes of information regarding the titles that get leaked and hinted at by in-the-know sources and data miners. This information can range from the fairly innocuous to the massively revealing, meaning that there is always large amounts of attention on any potential leak to see where it lands.
A huge and very high-profile set of leaks have slowly been revealed over the past few days, supposedly regarding two separate upcomingCall of Dutytitles. The scope and scale of the leaks are rather unprecedented, drawing even more attention than whatCoDrelated leaks have received historically.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Leaks
The general majority of the recentCall of Dutyleaks regard the massively anticipatedupcoming release ofModern Warfare 2. As the second installment of the popular reboot of theModern Warfarefranchise, the upcomingMW2has a lot to live up to in regard to its 2019 predecessor, as well as its iconic original source material.
Set to release on October 28 of this year,Modern Warfare 2is at a time in its development in which the risk and likelihood of information leaks regarding the title are at their highest. While many of the broaderdetails ofModern Warfare 2’scampaignare already known to fans, the more intricate details of the title’s multiplayer modes are currently unknown, or at least, they were before the recent leaks.
Aside from rumors thatMW2’s beta will take place in September, shortly before launch, the biggest leaks in question supposedly concern several of the multiplayer maps thatModern Warfare 2will boast at launch. The leaks revealed what appear to be loading-screen images of fourMW2maps, named Saba, Museum, Oil Field, and Grand Prix. Bizarrely, the map names and loading images reportedly came from a data-mine of the upcoming mobile port of thepopular battle royaleCall of Duty: Warzone.Within the closed alpha files ofWarzone Mobile, map information forModern Warfare 2was oddly found, along with information regarding an untitledCoD,beyond the upcomingMW2.
Treyarch 2024 Call of Duty Leaks
Found within the closed alpha files ofWarzone Mobilewas information that supposedly relates to the nextCall of Duty, which is reportedly set to be spearheaded byveteranCoDdevelopment studio Treyarch. While the leaks regarding this currently unnamed title are comparatively smaller to those ofModern Warfare 2in scale, the hints that they reportedly provide as to the setting of the Treyarch title are potentially invaluable.
One of the latestCoDtitles that Treyarch worked on wasCold War, the most recent installment of the iconicBlack Opsseries of games that Treyarch has crafted over the years. With people logically thinking that thenext Treyarch title will also beBlack Opsrelated, the recent leaks have only stoked the fires of this line of thought. The leaks for this title also pertain to supposed multiplayer maps, with two in total being shown.
The maps are called Stealth and Pillage, and point towards a desert Middle Eastern setting. These leaks have left many to speculate that this upcoming title will be set in the 1990s, more specifically the Gulf War, as a part of theBlack Opsseries. Another reportedly leaked filename from the data mine mentions “mogadishu,” which appears to reference a famous battle that occurred in Somalia in the early ’90s. With this giving further credence to the Gulf War setting of this upcomingCall of Dutygame, the leaks appear to paint a varied and ambitious immediate future for the famous shooter franchise.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2releases October 28 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
