No, you did not read the headline wrong. Call of Duty developers could be planning a gameplay focus on new movement mechanics that include martial arts. I don’t know about you, but I’m not surprised at all. After Beavis and Butt-Head, anything’s possible in these games. Sledgehammer is rumored to helm the Call of Duty 2027 project, and unfortunately, the leaks suggest that it’s not an Advanced Warfare sequel.
I don’t mind a pinch of goofiness in Call of Duty – not cartoons added to BO6, no – but to feature “Karate Chops” in the game? That’s brutal, depending on how it’s going to be executed in the game. The new Call of Duty 2027 leak comes from a prominent insider, and here’s all the details we’re about to go through:
So this is a new sub-franchise, meaning that we’ll get sequels to it rather than leaving it to rust like how Advanced Warfare and Vanguard turned out. But then again, Vanguard was once planned to get a sequel when the developers announced possible future stories about the characters, like Polina Petrova and Arthur Kingsley. And on top of that, this is just a leak.
More on this, we’ve got no Zombies mode planned for the title. That’s probably because MW4 is rumored to bring us DMZ 2.0, and with Call of Duty 2027 leaked to be in the “Modern era,” that game might just follow the path of the military co-op mode. Speaking of which, there’ll be no jetpacks and super movement techniques, just the martial arts. As per leaks, at least.
And last but definitely not least, the Get High game mode is rumored to return in the next Sledgehammer Games’ Call of Duty title. This was a popular game mode added to MWIII last year, and I wonder why they didn’t bring that in for Black Ops 6 as well.
