After some initial rumors before its release earlier this year, a new report confirms the idea that the 2024 Call of Duty game will be a new entry in the Black Ops series, with said version taking place during the Gulf War.

Rumors of a 2024 Call of Duty as a new Black Ops game first surfaced in February, when it was leaked that next year's sequel to the series was being developed by Treyarch under the codename Cerberus. Further evidence was supported in July, when actor and singer Luke Charles Stafford shared a Facebook post referencing Black Ops and claiming that his likeness would be used for next year's main character, "Ratcliff."
And that brings us to a new report from Windows Central which, citing “multiple sources familiar with Activision’s plans,” says that next year’s Call of Duty “is indeed Black Ops.” The publication also claims that the game will attempt to “explore a detailed narrative of the Gulf War, with a focus on the various participants in the conflict.”

This story appears to "merge at the end of the Cold War era and explore some of its consequences," and in terms of the technique they're using for the video game, the early '90s setting will mark a return to "more traditional military technology and familiar Black Ops ingenuity" rather than the technology of the present and future.
Windows Central reports that Call of Duty will "represent the longest development time Treyarch has ever put into a Call of Duty title" and notes that Activision is aiming to release the game "late fall to early winter 2024."There's also talk of a "big early access bonus for the game in early form and also for pre-order" that offers access for several days for the base game and, possibly, "weeks" for other features.

Of course, it's unlikely we'll hear much about 2024's Call of Duty in an official capacity for quite some time. This year's version, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, has only been out for two weeks, and its development has been a contentious one. Eurogamer's Chris Tapsell called Modern Warfare 3 a "project that extracts value from its players rather than delivers value" in his two-out-of-five-star review, adding, "the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the result of this industry at its worst."
