Seeing the ratings that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was receiving, Phil Spencer had to bite his teeth. The company didn’t really celebrate the game’s success, but since Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War (2024) has been in production since 2020, things may look quite different in that year.
Over the years, Activision teams have been using a three-year schedule for game development. Every studio had enough time to produce the material that gamers anticipated, but the issues facing the globe and the present generation had an impact on the creators’ decisions.
In 2023, we were not expected to play a full-fledged game in the series, and there were even speculations at one point that there wouldn’t be a new Call of Duty game for a long time. But as we all know, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was made—and it was made quickly, according to Jason Schreier’s story.
However, the situation is expected to be completely different in 2024, as Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War or Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is expected to be the first part in the series to be developed for an additional year.
Treyarch received an additional 12 months to develop the game, which should have a significant impact on the final content. The creators are to provide a full-fledged story, an extensive online mode and a gameplay variant full of zombies .
The positive news was confirmed by CharlieIntel, which reports that next year’s Call of Duty is the first game in the series to have a four-year development cycle.
Another hastily created code is coming
Call of Duty 2024 is the first title in Call of Duty history with a 4-year development cycle.
Another rushed cod coming boys 😩

Work on Call of Duty 2024 is to continue from 2020, which, if successful, Microsoft will certainly take advantage of.
