Multiple rumors have surfaced regarding theCall of Dutyfranchise recently, as leakers have speculated that the series may make many interesting changes in the future. The latestCall of Dutyrumor relates to the possibility of a new standalone experience of one of the series' most beloved modes.
According to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, and leaker Tom Henderson,there will allegedly be no new mainlineCall of Dutygame arriving in 2023. Some have speculated that this is the result of Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard acquisition, asCall of Duty: Vanguarddid not do as well as the company expected it to. Microsoft may have encouraged the alleged delay as a means to get the series back on track, however, it seems as though a different kind ofCall of Dutycould come about in 2023.

Leakers Tom Henderson, RalphsValve, and CODMW2Informer have allegedly received insider information regarding the possibility of a surprising change for the franchise. This change is speculated to come in the form of a new free-to-playCall of Dutyzombies standalone game, which is said to be developed by Treyarch and will supposedly release in 2023.
If these rumors turn out to be true, it could be a huge step in the right direction for the franchise. Manyfans were unhappy with the zombies mode inCall of Duty: Vanguard, as they instead asked for updates for the previous game in the series,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. A standalone game would allow the developer to focus entirely on the zombies experience and tweak it to fans liking accordingly.
Earlier this month, Tom Henderson was able to accurately leak thatCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2would be releasing later this year alongsideCall of Duty: Warzone 2. The leak was confirmed to be true only a day later when Activision officially announced the very same information. This shows that the possibility of gamers receiving a standaloneCall of Dutyzombies game is not entirely out of the realm of possibility, especially when one considers that more than one leaker shared the information.
Another leaker also came out in the last week claiming to havedetails regarding the multiplayer mode ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The details the leaker provided related to the maps, killstreaks, and UI that are said to make an appearance in the upcoming game. As with most leaks, unfortunately, only time will tell whether any of this information proves to be true.
