If Call of Duty 2025 Is Another Black Ops Game, One Thing Can Be Expected

As a seasoned gamer who’s been through the trenches since the dawn of gaming, I can confidently say that the Call of Duty: Black Ops series has always managed to keep me on my toes with its unexpected twists and turns. From the mind-bending revelations in Black Ops 1 to the heart-wrenching betrayals in Black Ops 2, these games have never failed to leave me scratching my head and muttering “what just happened?

This article reveals significant plot details for each primary installment in the Call of Duty: Black Ops series, extending up to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 as well.

The campaigns within the Call of Duty: Black Ops series have housed some of the most iconic missions and moments in the franchise, such as the harrowing gunship escape in Vietnam during Black Ops 1, and the dramatic showdown with Raul Menendez at the end of Black Ops 2. The latest addition to the series, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, maintains this thrilling trend for the franchise by offering pulse-pounding missions like ‘Separation Anxiety’ and ‘Emergence’, which are bound to leave a lasting impression on gamers for years to come.

The upcoming successor to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has a tough task ahead, as it needs to outshine its predecessors and this may happen earlier than fans anticipate. Based on leaked images from Twitter user @FumoLeaks, the next installment of Call of Duty in 2025 might be a sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, taking place in the 2030s. Regardless of its timeframe or release date, it’s reasonable to expect that the next chapter in the Call of Duty: Black Ops series will maintain one consistent aspect of the franchise, and that is a plot twist revolving around the protagonist’s identity.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Has a Long History of Protagonist-Related Twists

The primary campaigns of each title in the Call of Duty: Black Ops series include a surprising revelation about the game’s central character, and the twist in the first installment is particularly well-known. In 2010’s Call of Duty: Black Ops, players control Alex Mason, a former U.S Marine and current CIA agent who finds himself bound to a chair in a dimly lit room at the start of the game. Throughout the narrative, Mason is asked to recount significant events from the past few years, which include instances where his Russian cellmate, Viktor Reznov, helped him on various missions. However, it’s eventually disclosed that Reznov was not actually present during these missions with Mason; instead, it was Mason who performed actions such as assassinating the former Nazi scientist Steiner.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, the storyline didn’t simply replicate its precursor but introduced an unexpected twist. For the majority of the game’s flashback missions set in the 1980s, players assume control of Alex Mason once more. However, this continuity is broken with the mission titled ‘Suffer With Me.’ During this mission, players switch to controlling Frank Woods, who is ordered to execute a restrained target believed to be the antagonist Raul Menendez. Regrettably, Woods is tricked, and the person he kills turns out to be none other than Alex Mason himself.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, the twist within its campaign storyline is more intricate and perplexing compared to earlier versions. Essentially, this game presents two narratives intertwined, where you, as the player, control a character whose bodily existence has ceased, but whose consciousness persists in a high-tech neural interface of a teammate.

In a simplified narrative, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War simplified some aspects from its predecessor, Black Ops 3, yet retained thought-provoking, identity-altering motifs. The protagonist in Cold War is a CIA agent named “Bell,” who’s tasked by Russell Adler to track down a Soviet defector called Perseus. A surprising twist at the game’s end unveils that Bell was secretly working for Perseus from the outset, and the CIA had manipulated his memory to believe he was one of them, aiming to locate Perseus’ covert base.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Continues The Series’ Protagonist Trend

In the spirit of the Cold War’s tactics, the plot twist in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 features a similar focus on the protagonist’s identity and past. During the mission ‘Emergence,’ it’s disclosed that the player-character, known as “Case,” was the initial and sole human subject for a potent super-soldier serum called The Cradle. Due to the debilitating side effects, Case essentially had his memory erased regarding his involvement in the experiment.

How Call of Duty 2025 Could Put a Unique Spin on the Protagonist Twist

If Call of Duty 2025 Is Another Black Ops Game, One Thing Can Be Expected

Ever since the original Call of Duty: Black Ops back in the day, the unexpected twists with the main characters have been a key element that keeps me hooked. If the rumors are correct and 2025’s Call of Duty is another Black Ops installment, I can’t help but feel a bit tired at the thought of another character-driven twist so soon. It could start to feel a tad repetitive, you know?

Instead of the next Black Ops game repeating the pattern of secret identities, sudden deaths, and nested narratives, it might find a unique approach by featuring a playable protagonist who has previously died. Since Woods wasn’t a playable character in Black Ops 1, bringing back Case could be an intriguing twist for Call of Duty 2025, given its close connection to Black Ops 6.

In the finale of Black Ops 6, it’s assumed that Case met his end. However, there’s a possibility he might reappear in the Call of Duty game of 2025. This could happen around midway through the campaign, with him taking over the role from a new playable character. This way, the next installment of Black Ops can maintain its signature plot twist without falling into the trap of repetition too soon.
