This year’s Call of Duty will be part of the Black Ops universe if today’s rumours are of any indication.

Call of Duty 2020 will be dubbed Call of Duty: Vietnam, at least according to Charlie Intel. Later, Kotaku’s Jason Schreier backed up the rumour, stating that this year’s Black Ops universe-set entry will focus on the war in Vietnam. It wouldn’t be a reboot of the original Black Ops released back in 2010 because some of use are holding onto a shred of hope that Activision aren’t completely bankrupt ideas-wise.

I’m not a COD person so I don’t know anything about all the lore shenanigans or what it really means to be a Black Ops game, but one title I’ve heard thrown around a couple times is just “COD: Vietnam.” As far as I know it’s part of the Black ops series though? Not sure

I don’t think it’s a reboot

Guess shooter fans will have to find out in May if there will be a brand-new Black Ops or not. In the meantime, you’ll have time to play last year’s Call of Duty and its recent Warzone mode until it’s all made obsolete by the upcoming Call of Duty. Honestly, does the series need to be annualized to the ground, especially if the last one seems to be stable gameplay-wise?
