TL;DR: Call of Duty 2027, developed by Sledgehammer Games, will launch as a new sub-franchise set in the modern era without jetpacks or Zombies. It emphasizes tactical movement, including high vantage positioning and martial arts combat, marking a distinct departure from Advanced Warfare and existing series like Modern Warfare or Black Ops.

Call of Duty 2027 is already being leaked online ahead of the official worldwide reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The leaks come from a reputable Call of Duty source and claim the title won't be Advanced Warfare 2 and will be set in a completely new "sub-franchise".

The information comes from none other than @TheGhostOfHope, who recently took to their X account to announce that the Call of Duty releasing two years from now (2027), developed by Sledgehammer Games, "will NOT be Advanced Warfare 2 and will instead be set in a completely new sub-franchise." Adding, the COD 2027 will be set during the "Modern era," but won't feature any jetpacks. Furthermore, Hope added that there will be a big focus on movement, and Zombies aren't currently planned for the game.

Hope also wrote that "Get High" will be returning in COD 2027, which doesn't refer to drug use, but instead to moving or positioning to a high vantage point on the map to gain a tactical advantage over your enemy. This would include climbing on rooftops, ledges, scaffolding, etc. Lastly, Hope writes there may be a focus on martial arts within the gameplay as well, with players being able to perform "karate kicks" and "karate chops" as examples.

The leaker writes COD 2027 will be a completely new "sub-franchise," which means the game won't feature the "Modern Warfare" or "Black Ops" naming. It will be an entirely new sub-franchise beneath "Call of Duty."

With Call of Duty 2027 being more than two years away there is plenty of time for the developers to change what is actually going to be in the final release of the game. Take this information with a healthy amount of skepticism.
