As Call of Duty: Vanguard nears the halfway point of its lifecycle, rumors are starting to increase about what could be next for the Call of Duty series in 2022. Infinity Ward is serving as the lead developer on the 19th entry in the long-running shooter series, with Activision previously saying the next title was a sequel to 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Players may soon get their answer if a possible reveal date leak circulating on social media turns out to be true.
