An Activision job listing makes mention of something called Call of Duty 2.0, which seems to involve "subscription-based content" and "always on community and player connectivity."
As spotted by Charlie Intel, the language in the job listing is as vague as it is eyebrow-raising, potentially hinting at major changes coming to the franchise as early as this year.
"2022 is a stellar opportunity for Call of Duty, with an extraordinary line up of innovations in curated player experiences, multi-platform game play, subscription-based content, mobile game development, and a move to always on community and player connectivity," reads a bit from the listing for manager in influencer marketing at Activision. "We call this CoD 2.0."

We've reached out to Activision for some clarification about what Call of Duty 2.0 refers to and we'll update this article if we hear back.
