Call of Duty 2026 story and setting leaked ahead of reveal

Although, there are speculations regarding a CoD title in 2025 which is supposed to be a sequel to Black Ops 6. However, new leaks have surfaced regarding Call of Duty 2026, which is in turn rumored to be a worthy successor to the last Modern Warfare installment. These leaks have revealed the setting, story and even the potential name of the game. Call of Duty 2026 title and campaign details leaked Call of Duty 2026 is going to be sequel of Modern Warfare 3. | Image via Activision. According to popular leaker @TheGhostOfHope , the title of Call of Duty 2026 is going to be Call of Duty Modern Warfare 사 and is currently in active development under Infinity Ward. The leaker also claimed that this game will take its Campaign in both South Korea and North Korea in a 'significant role.' He has also stated that players will don the uniforms of three major factions - 141, SAS, and Republic of Korea Army - to infiltrate and take down Makarov and the Konni Group, who are actually doing false flag operations to instigate World War 3. Now this is not the first time that the Korean peninsula is claimed to be the setting of 2026's Call of Duty title as a few months before Vanguard came, there were several rumors stirred up claiming this location as the main setting of the game in 2021. However, those rumors never came to reality, but this time, it might be different. South and North Korea are two intriguing settings which never have been explored to its full potential in Call of Duty history. So, it will be a breather of fresh air for the fans to see a completely new backdrop. Also, the '사' sign in the rumored title is actually '4' in Korean language. So, the rumor of the campaign location makes more sense now. This title is believed to pick up right from the moment it was left in Modern Warfare 3, when General Shepherd was killed by Captain Price, in turn Soap died at the hands of Makarov. Additionally, "some" futuristic weapons and technology would be included, but the game would still be "mostly modern." Furthermore, the resurrection of the DMZ mode with its third option was confirmed. However, nothing has been confirmed yet and we should take these informations as grains of salt until Activision comes into the field.

Call of Duty 2026 aka Modern Warfare 4 is reportedly scrapping the most controversial feature of Black Ops 6
Image via Treayrch. It's 2025 and people have already started speculating about Call of Duty 2026 . As this franchise has been following a yearly release model since 2005, fans can expect a title in 2026 for sure. We are yet to get any solid news regarding CoD 2025, but rumors are at its peak for CoD 2026. There has been no confirmation regarding this title, per rumors suggest that 2026 CoD title is going to be a sequel of Modern Warfare III, unlike CoD 2025, which is set in the Black Ops universe. Amidst all the rumors, there has been a new one which claims that in 2026, Activison might get rid of the feature, for which it faced huge criticism in Black Ops 6. Rumor: There might be no Omni-movement in Call of Duty 2026 Black Ops 6 set a new tone for the Call of Duty franchise. Developers already promised before the release of the game that BO6 was going to mark the beginning of a new chapter for the long-hailed series. And this new beginning started with the introduction of a new movement mechanics called Omni-movement. With this movement mechanics, you can slide in any direction you want, even backwards. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Inside Harry and Meghan's Stunning California Mansion BridesBlush Undo However, tables turned over everyone's head after the release of the game as Black Ops 6 faced huge backlash initially. And center of all the criticisms was this new movement scheme. Fans didn't like this new maneuver system at all. Treyarch later on fixed all the persisting issues in the game and Black Ops 6 went on to become one of the best games in the series. But people still rant about Omni-movement. Now there's a new report from credible industry insider @TheGhostOfHope which states that Call of Duty 2026 aka Modern Warfare 4 might not include Omni-movement anymore. However, this is not the final decision from Activision, as the developers might change their minds next year, when we get closer to the game. But for now, there is no plan to feature Omni-movement in 2026's title. TheGhostOfHope also stated that there has been a leak a while ago which claimed Call of Duty 2026 (MW4) would have the same movement mechanics as Call of Duty 2025 (BO7). But after this report, that leak is no longer legit as well. However, there is a rumor regarding CoD 2025 that might disappoint the fans . Now, what might be the probable reason for the Omni-movement being scrapped away from the future Call of Duty title? Frankly speaking, this was quite obvious. In the name of beginning a new chapter for the Call of Duty franchise, this new movement mechanics absolutely killed the familiar CoD vibe. After Omni-movement, the game became more about movements, rather than gun-fights. As these are just rumors, this report should be taken with a grain of salt. We still don't have information about Call of Duty 2026, but if Activision gets rid of Omni-movement, then many fans are going to be relieved for sure.
