The developers will return to some classic systems and mechanics, and will also allegedly abandon the zombie mode.
According to reliable insider TheGhostOfHope, Sledgehammer Games (the authors of Advanced Warfare, WWII and Vanguard) is working on a new Call of Duty. This will be a completely new sub-series — not a continuation of Modern Warfare or Black Ops. It will feature new characters, a fresh storyline and a setting in the late 1990s — early 2000s.
Key gameplay changes:
- The omnidirectional movement system from Black Ops 6 will be retained, but without tactical sprint
- The return of the classic Pick 10 system for class creation is being discussed. There are no plans for a zombie mode — possibly so as not to overload Treyarch after two Black Ops in a row
- Instead, the Get High mode will return (parkour challenge from Modern Warfare III)
Previously, Activision promised more global innovations and changes in the Call of Duty series.
