It’s been more than two decades since a new Call of Duty game is annually released and added to the list, and Activision has not stopped this cycle even if you consider MW3 a $70 DLC. The year is 2024, and after 2 consecutive years of Modern Warfare story, multiplayer, and co-op modes, we are going back to the pre-2000s era to give Uncle Woods a hug.

List of All Call of Duty Games
Instead of keeping everything under the numerical release order, Activision has departed the process from 2008, giving each of its major developing studios their own canonical Call of Duty series with unique titles. This is until 2019 when the reboot of Modern Warfare merged the new MW timeline with the Black Ops games stories altogether. This is further combined by putting Call of Duty: Vanguard and WWII on the same shelf.
The newest Call of Duty game right now is Black Ops 6, releasing on October 25, 2024.

What Is Call of Duty 2024 All About?
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 takes place a few years after the event of Black Ops Cold War and the flashback missions from Black Ops 2. Early 90s to be precise. Russel Adler and Frank Woods are making a return, but Alex Mason and Jason Hudson are confirmed as KIA.
The whole plot of the newest Call of Duty game is circling around a mole that has infiltrated the CIA Agency from the inside. And it is the objective of rouge CIA agents to find, capture, and eliminate the traitor. Is it Raul Menendez? Who knows.
Now the one confusingly weird thing is that the current Modern Warfare timeline is all tied with Black Ops games, which means that MW3 from 2023 is showing the events right before Black Ops 2 which is set in 2025. And most importantly the newest Call of Duty game after the Black Ops 6 is going to continue that BO2 narrative right in 2025 next year.
