Where some games in the Black Ops subseries have been more standalone than their Modern Warfare brethren, 2025’s planned Call of Duty will reportedly be a follow-up to 2012’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, with players taking control of returning protagonist David Mason.

Earlier this year, Treyarch developer Yale Miller told Game File the Black Ops 6 campaign would be as long as a “classic” Call of Duty, suggesting it would net out around six to eight hours. Co-developer Raven Software recently doubled down on that assessment, promising fans it would be longer than Cold War ’s campaign which only ran five hours.

The Call of Duty series looks set to take players back to the future in 2025 with a Black Ops 2 sequel set in the early 2030s. Fans were alerted to leaked information about next year’s unannounced Call of Duty game after details allegedly revealed in a focus group meeting hit social media.
