Kotaku is reporting that this year’s Call of Duty looks to be a sequel to 2010’s Black Ops, with a reveal to that effect scheduled for May 2nd. The report was issued after the blog received an image of a poster (above) from an anonymous retail source. Such a reveal would correspond to previous reports of Activision allegedly banning members of the French gaming press from their events, after they wrote of a Black Ops 2 2012 release. Neither the publisher nor Treyarch have responded to the report.
That looks like it is an ad telling when they are going to make an announcement about the game. Stealth launching can be tricky, though Activision can pull it off with CoD because of the branding (stealth launching other franchises is more treacherous).
I’ll pass on yet another installment of CoD, it just doesn’t have the same feeling as the original games set in WWII.
