The Call of Duty franchise continues to evolve and adapt with each new generation of gaming hardware, and a recent claim has set the gaming community abuzz. According to multiple industry sources, Activision is reportedly developing Call of Duty 2026 with a strong focus on next-generation Xbox hardware, set to make full use of the capabilities offered by Microsoft’s upcoming console.
That’s according to reputable Call of Duty leaker TheGhostOfHope, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to break the news after it was announced that Season 3 of Black Ops 6 would be delayed until April.
Also reported by Hope is that apparently if Verdansk does not bring players back to Call of Duty: Warzone, a third game in the free-to-play Battle Royale will not release.
As always, take such rumours with a grain of salt, but Call of Duty 2026 being in development for the next-generation Xbox console is an interesting bit of information, if it turns out to be true.
As more details emerge, fans of the franchise will undoubtedly be watching closely for further updates on what promises to be one of the most anticipated games of the next generation. The future of Call of Duty looks incredibly bright.
