Call of Duty 2024

Despite arriving at the end of the year, plenty of Call of Duty 2024 content has been leaked already. Set to be the next Black Ops entry, here’s everything we know about CoD 2024 so far, including the release window, expected title, leaked developers, Zombies mode, and more.

Another year, another Call of Duty, and despite players still enjoying all the content MW3 and Warzone have to offer, rumors and leaks regarding Call of Duty 2024 continue to constantly surface.

Although it won’t arrive until later in the year, the premium CoD entry following MW3 is expected to take players back to the Black Ops series. Here’s everything we know about CoD 2024 so far, including the expected title, leaked developers, weapons, Zombies mode, and more.

Call of Duty 2024 expected title

Call of Duty 2024 is expected to be called Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War, according to Windows Central and Insider Gaming. Of course, plans can always change so we’ll have to wait for the official reveal to know more.

Following the previous Black Ops CoD title, set during the Cold War, the dev team is set to continue navigating through historic events.

Call of Duty 2024 release window

Call of Duty 2024 is expected to be launched in October 2024 after Inverse reported Xbox’s Phil Spencer told employees “it would be safe to assume another Call of Duty was coming this October.” This has also been reported by Insider Gaming.

This falls in line with the usual release pattern with recent Call of Duty games arriving in either late October or early November.

Call of Duty 2024 developers

It’s all but confirmed that Treyarch will be developing Call of Duty 2024. The return of Treyarch as lead dev team was first reported by Bloomberg on January 22, 2023, and has been corroborated by several sources.

However, Raven Software is also set to be part of the game’s development, as Insider Gaming reported that the team behind Warzone will reportedly take over CoD 2024’s campaign.

Call of Duty 2024 leaked setting & time period

Following Warzone Mobile file leaks referring to the Battle of Mogadishu, Windows Central’s report revealed Call of Duty 2024 is expected to “take place during the Gulf War” and will be “focused on the CIA… examining the United States’ role in the conflict.”

According to their report, the next entry in the Black Ops series could “lean back into more traditional military combat technology and familiar Black Ops gadgetry as opposed to the current and near-future tech we’ve seen from Modern Warfare and some other recent Call of Duty titles.”

Call of Duty 2024 leaked campaign details

On February 5, Insider Gaming shared several details regarding CoD 2024’s campaign. Reportedly developed by Raven Software, the campaign is set to be a Far Cry-style open-world experience including fast travel systems and vehicles.

Additionally, Insider Gaming’s report stated that the game “will see the return of some Black Ops characters” including the fan-favorite Adler, who was one of the main characters in the story of 2020’s Black Ops Cold War.

Call of Duty 2024 leaked early access

According to Windows Central’s report, Activision is discussing a “large pre-order early access bonus” for Call of Duty 2024, which would include “several days for the base game, and maybe even weeks for access to other modes.”

Starting with MW2, Activision allowed players to access the campaign a week early. Now, it looks like Activision could try to grant players the possibility to access the full base game and certain modes much earlier, encouraging players to pre-order the game.

Call of Duty 2024 Zombies leaks

Round-base returns & Outbreak 2

BOCW Zombies
Black Ops Cold War was Treyarch’s last CoD game to include the traditional round-based Zombies.

Additionally, Windows Central’s article shared that with Treyarch’s reported return for Call of Duty 2024, the classic round-based Zombies is also set to come back.

Even though MW3’s Zombies mode has received favorable responses, fans are eagerly anticipating a traditional survival Zombies experience, a realm in which Treyarch is regarded as the founding father.

Further, popular Zombies content creator MrDalekJD shared some leaks regarding the undead mode for Call of Duty 2024, claiming that there could be two round-based maps at launch, as well as a separate mode.

Leaker ‘alanthethird_90’ on X shared datamined code from Modern Warfare 3 about Call of Duty 2024’s Zombies mode that referred to similar elements from MW3’s Zombies mode, which suggests that the open-world extraction format could be returning alongside the classic round-based format.

Perhaps this will be the rumored second version of Outbreak from Black Ops Cold War.

Wonder Weapon, new enemy & setting leaks

Leakers have also found code that provides details on the potential Wonder Weapon for CoD 2024 Zombies. The datamined code hinted at a new Wonder Weapon that could be similar to the KT-4 from Zetsubo No Shima, as well as a new “tentacle dog” enemy type.

According to MrDalekJD, the Zombies mode will be set in the 1990s, after the events of Cold War. Keep in mind that this is still just speculation and leaks, so take it with a pinch of salt for now.

Leaked Call of Duty 2024 concept art

Alongside the string that alluded to the Battle of Mogadishu, leaker Reality claimed to discover concept art for Call of Duty 2024 in Warzone Mobile’s game files.

This concept art shows what appears to be two of the maps that are in development. The first is a map that’s codenamed ‘Stealth’ and appears to feature a US military base in a desert area.

Those who know their military history might recognize what looks like the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk stealth bomber in the hanger, giving further evidence of a 1990s setting.

The second map is codenamed ‘Pillage’ and shows soldiers entering what appears to be a wartorn mansion or palace.

Keep in mind that with Call of Duty 2024 still in development, these designs may have been scrapped or heavily altered ahead of launch.

Call of Duty 2024 engine

Following MW2, Warzone, and MW3, every future Call of Duty game will be developed under “one unified engine” — an advanced version of the IW engine.

Speaking to the Washington Post, Call of Duty’s then-General Manager Johanna Faries confirmed that even though the next Black Ops will be on the same engine as the Modern Warfare titles, it will still feel different, as they want Treyarch games to feel like Treyarch games and MW games to feel like Modern Warfare.


That’s everything we know about the next Call of Duty game so far. Be sure to stay tuned, as we expect even more leaks and official reveals throughout the rest of 2024.
