Activision has not yet officially announced the next game in the renowned Call of Duty series, but it is expected to be released in October or November 2025. The expectation is that this new title will be a sequel to Black Ops II, set in the 2030s, and will continue the narrative of its predecessor, whose story was set in 2025. This year will mark the 20th consecutive anniversary of releases in the franchise, which has maintained a remarkable regularity since 2005.
It is likely to have a cross-platform beta
Rumors indicate that Call of Duty 2025 will feature a multiplayer beta prior to its release, likely scheduled for August 2025. This approach follows the trend set by previous titles in the series, and now that Microsoft owns Activision, the beta is expected to be conducted simultaneously on all platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, with the possibility of an announcement related to Nintendo Switch 2.
As usual, pre-orders for Call of Duty 2025 cannot be made yet, but it is anticipated that they will open once the game is officially announced. Activision has kept both the plot details and development under wraps, although it is rumored that the game will continue the tradition of complex plots and political twists that characterize the Black Ops series.
Additionally, Call of Duty 2025 is expected to be available on Game Pass from its launch, just like its predecessor Black Ops 6. The series continues to use a proprietary game engine that has been adopted for all recent main installments, suggesting continuity in quality and gaming experience.
Although many details remain in the realm of speculation, the gaming community eagerly awaits official news confirming the direction this anticipated new chapter in the Call of Duty story will take.
