Although reporting indicates that a specific title hasn’t been selected, it does sayActivisionhas tapped Treyarch to develop a new Call of Duty: Black Ops game set in the Gulf War.
Windows Central’s report not only provides the most definitive confirmation of Black Ops: Gulf War being the next Call of Duty game, it also provides some additional details we hadn’t heard anything about until now. The report claims the story will focus on the CIA and “examine the United States' role in the conflict” as well as “some of the West’s more shadowy military dealings in global conflict scenarios.”
The report goes further to say Treyarch will try its hand at navigating a “nuanced narrative of the Gulf War” and take a critical look at “different participants within the conflict.” The story will reportedly connect into the end of the Cold War era and “explore some of the consequences therein.”
Gameplay-wise, it’s said the sequel will revert to some of the more traditional military weaponry and Black Ops-era tech compared to the modern and futuristic gadgetry seen in Modern Warfare and other recent Call of Duty games.
