Leaks Detail 2026 and 2027 Call of Duty Games

Leaks surrounding the next two installments in the Call of Duty franchise have intensified, with insiders providing details on a 2026 title from Infinity Ward and a 2027 project led by Sledgehammer Games. The revelations, shared primarily through social media by prominent leakers, suggest significant changes to gameplay mechanics and storylines, though some claims have drawn indirect pushback from developers.

For the 2026 release, expected to serve as a sequel to 2023's Modern Warfare 3, multiple sources indicate the campaign will center on conflicts involving Korea, including a potential mission set in New York City. The narrative is reportedly tied to the character Makarov and themes of World War 3, drawing in various countries. Insiders claim the multiplayer component will closely mirror the 2022 Modern Warfare 2, featuring heavy visual recoil on weapons, no perk charging system, and reduced penalties for aiming down sights during slides. Core movement mechanics are said to revert to traditional styles, excluding the omnimovement system introduced in Black Ops 6, as studio leads prefer established controls without a dedicated melee slot or aiming while moving.
