As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can confidently say that the rumors surrounding Call of Duty 2025 have me buzzing with excitement! After experiencing the rollercoaster ride that was Modern Warfare 3 following its direct predecessor, I must admit, I was a tad apprehensive about another sequel in such quick succession. However, the prospect of a Black Ops 2 continuation has me feeling optimistic.
Although the spotlight is mainly on Black Ops 6 within the Call of Duty series at the moment, hints and whispers are starting to sketch out what the following year’s installment in the franchise might entail. The year 2025 seems promising for the First-Person Shooter (FPS) genre, as Battlefield is planning to launch a new game, coinciding with the annual release of a fresh Call of Duty title.
It’s being speculated that the next Call of Duty game slated for 2025 could be a continuation of the Black Ops 2 storyline, five years after the popular 2012 release. If this is accurate, it means there will be two consecutive Black Ops titles much like Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 which were released in 2022 and 2023 respectively. This repeated focus on a single sub-franchise within Call of Duty is somewhat uncommon, with MW3 receiving criticism for its similarities to its predecessor. However, a Black Ops 2 sequel could offer opportunities to distinguish itself from the themes of the upcoming Black Ops 6.
Call of Duty 2025’s Rumored Setting Would Avoid the Burnout of Modern Warfare 3
2025’s version of “Call of Duty” could mark a fresh chapter for the series, possibly meaning that individual sub-series might get focused attention over several years in a row. The 2023 release of “Modern Warfare 3” may have set this pattern initially, but some gamers felt it was hastily produced, more like an expensive expansion pack for “MW2” than a separate, full game experience.
The brief duration of the campaign in Modern Warfare 3 and the multiplayer carry-over system that heavily relied on existing Modern Warfare 2 content didn’t make things easier. This was because the game shared many similarities with its predecessor, including setting, gameplay, maps, and themes, leading to widespread fatigue among fans. In fact, all the launch maps for MW3 were taken from the original Modern Warfare 2.
Although there’s always new content for the Call of Duty series each year, it typically varies the settings between releases. However, due to its status as a direct sequel with limited development time, Modern Warfare 3 could not do this. But rumors about the 2025 version of Call of Duty suggest a change. If true, this next installment would be a direct sequel to Black Ops 2, set in 2030, and thus feel distinct from the upcoming Black Ops 6, even though both are part of the same franchise and share a narrative connection.
A Black Ops 2 Sequel Would Open the Door to a Major Gameplay Shift
In essence, the upcoming game titled Black Ops 6 is primarily set in the 1990s, providing insights into the confusing narrative connection between the past and future episodes, such as Black Ops 2. This will offer fans an intimate peek into the lives of legendary characters like Frank Woods and Russell Adler, while preserving the raw, dated atmosphere that the series is renowned for. Notably, it’s speculated that this game could serve as a sequel to Black Ops 2‘s near-future setting in 2025, with hopes that it returns to the story of David Mason after the return of Raul Menendez.
Moving forward in the upcoming sequels, a potential Black Ops 2 successor might double down on the quirky gameplay elements and storylines that set it apart. Instead of sticking with the 1990s-based themes as seen in Black Ops 6, this new setting could offer a distinctive gaming experience. This rumored direction for the next Call of Duty series seems like an organic extension from the storyline of Black Ops 6, while still feeling fresh and distinct from its predecessor. The aim here is to avoid the backlash that Modern Warfare 3 faced due to its striking similarities to Modern Warfare 2.
