In a stunning departure from historical norms, Call of Duty has directly denied previously reported rumors that it is working on a standalone Zombies title to coincide with the release of the next generation of Xbox consoles.
In a response shared on social media, the official Call of Duty account put to bed the rumors that barely reached 24 hours of existence.
It's one of the first records that Call of Duty has directly denied any rumors about its future plans. In the past, when news has surfaced about what future Call of Duty titles will be like, the brand has almost never denied anything. Be silent instead.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 just proved that the bigger you are, the harder you fall
Activision has admitted that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is lagging and won't make the same mistakes again.
TheGhostofHope, the person who originally reported the existence of a standalone Zombies title, stood by his original statements.
At the moment, it's the word Call of Duty, which is a rare occurrence, against the word of a known leak that has set some things straight in the past. In the end, only time will tell what happens in the end.
This is the second major update from The Mouths Of Call Of Duty
For what it's worth, this is the second update of its kind we've received from Call of Duty itself. Although not a denial of future plans, Call of Duty acknowledged the noise and bad reviews surrounding Black Ops 7.
In a statement shared online, Call of Duty confirmed its plans to no longer release annual editions of its Modern Warfare or Black Ops titles. In other words, you'll never see a Black Ops 6 situation followed by a Black Ops 7 situation again.
The company further affirmed its desire to “drive innovation that is meaningful, not incremental.” He wouldn't say how he plans to do it, but he will do it when the “time is right.”
