Call of Duty 2025 Industry Insider Claims Black Ops 2 Maps Are Returning

Call of Duty fans are waiting on the next mainline entry to the franchise this year, but that hasn’t slowed down rumors of what’s coming after. With such a long-running franchise that has fans worldwide, it’s not surprising we’re already talking about what’s coming in 2025. That’s right, 2025’s release and not the upcoming 2024 release. So, you are best to take this as nothing more than a rumor right now. However, here’s what’s being shared online right now and what the future might hold for this IP.

We know that this year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is coming, and that’s a direct sequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. It seems that the next two installments will be based around Call of Duty: Black Ops. But what’s specifically being rumored right now is that Call of Duty 2025 will feature remastered maps from Call of Duty: Black Ops II. That’s also a trend being followed from the upcoming release for this year. If you recall, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III will feature all sixteen maps remastered from the 2009 release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

We’re finding this out thanks to X user El_bobberto, who noted that the upcoming game is going to continue remastering past Call of Duty maps. Now, even the industry insider is saying that we could see plenty of changes because we’re two years away from the game launch. But we also could see this being considered for the time being until the developers start to see the reception from how fans enjoyed the remastered maps being presented in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III la
