             Call of Duty 2024 to Return to





       the Gulf War Era With Black Ops
























































       ACTIVISION  has announced that the next installment                        Only  time  will tell  how the  new Black Ops game will be
       in the Call of Duty franchise will be a new Black Ops game                 received, but it will surely be one of the most anticipated
       set during the Gulf War in the 1990s. The game, which is                   releases 2024.

       currently  untitled,  is  being developed  by  Treyarch  and is
       expected to be released in 2024.


       This will be the first time the Call of Duty series has returned

       to the Gulf War setting since the original Black Ops game
       was released in 2010. That game was developed in the early
       1960s and told the story of a covert CIA operation during
       the Cold War.

       The new Black Ops game is expected to be a more grounded
       and realistic take on the Gulf War than the original game. It
       is also likely to feature a more diverse cast of characters, as
       the Gulf War was fought by a coalition of countries world-

       wide.


       No specific details about the game’s story or gameplay have
       been  released yet.  Still,  Activision  has  promised it will  be

       “the most ambitious and immersive Call of Duty game ever.”
       The announcement of the new Black Ops game has been met
       with mixed reactions from fans. Some are excited to return
       to the Gulf War setting, while others are concerned that the

       game will be too similar to the original Black Ops.
