The Call of Duty gaming franchise is reportedly set to return to its Black Ops series in its next installment, rumored to be centered around the Gulf War.
This news comes from Windows Central, which reports that the game, currently under development by Treyarch, is yet to receive an official name but will explore the intricate dynamics of the Gulf War period, following the end of the Cold War.
Gulf War Setting and Traditional Combat Focus
The upcoming Black Ops game aims to offer a nuanced narrative, highlighting various aspects and participants of the Gulf War. This marks a shift from the futuristic technology themes seen in recent Call of Duty games, as it is expected to focus more on traditional military combat technology and classic Black Ops gadgets.
Anticipated Release and Special Pre-Order Offers
Projected for a late fall or early winter release in 2024, the new Black Ops game might include an appealing pre-order bonus. Windows Central hints that this could involve early access to the game for several days or even weeks, a strategy that could excite the franchise's fans.
Recent Releases and Community Responses
This news arrives on the heels of the latest Call of Duty release, Modern Warfare 3. IGN's review of the game was mixed, with the single-player campaign receiving a 4/10 rating for its lackluster execution. The multiplayer aspect fared slightly better, earning a 6/10, though it was described as a reheated version of its predecessor with minor enhancements. Developers have acknowledged community feedback and are working on updates and fixes for the game.
Treyarch's Last Development in the Series
Treyarch's most recent work, the last Black Ops game titled Black Ops Cold War, received comparatively better reviews for its single-player mode but had a similar reception to its multiplayer as Modern Warfare 3. The upcoming Black Ops game set in the Gulf War era holds the potential to rejuvenate the series and offer a fresh perspective to its loyal fanbase.
