If various rumors about Call of Duty 2022 are accurate, it will reboot Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and be a follow-up to 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare from Infinity Ward. If the latest rumors about the game are true, it's going to release this October. The million-dollar question is when this October. Unfortunately, the rumors don't divulge this crucial detail, they only mention the month of October as a general target. If an October release sounds familiar, it's because 2019's hit in October, unlike its two predecessors, 2020's Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and 2021's Call of Duty: Vanguard, both of which didn't sell as well. In other words, Activision thinks moving this year's installment back up to October could help with sales.

The information comes the way of prominent Call of Duty insider and leaker, Tom Henderson, who notes that a "big" Call of Duty: Warzone may follow shortly after the release of Call of Duty: 2022 in October. Adding to this, Henderson claims the game will continue a developing tradition for the series, which is wait until the summer for a reveal.

"As expected, it's looking like this year's Call of Duty title, Modern Warfare II (2022), will be revealed in the summer," said Henderson. "Hearing rumblings that the title could release in October due to Vanguard's poor sales performance, with a 'big' Warzone update coming soon after."

This is where the report ends. At the moment of publishing, neither Activision nor Infinity Ward nor anyone rumored to be involved with the rumored game's development has acknowledged or addressed Henderson's report in any capacity. We don't anticipate this changing, but if it does, we will be sure to update the story accordingly. In the meantime, take all of this -- which is completely unofficial and subject to change -- with a grain of salt.
