However, this won’t be the first time Call of Duty to feature an open-world campaign in the series. Previously, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3’s “Open World Missions” provided the first idea of what an open-world campaign could look like. Black Ops Gulf War is set to take Modern Warfare 3’s open-world missions to a different level.
Open World Campaign Mode Coming Back to CoD
According to a report by Tom Henderson from Insider Gaming, the 2024 Call of Duty will feature an open-world single-player campaign, and Raven Software will be working on the story.
Treyarch will be developing the multiplayer and Zombies features for the game, as per the same source. Moreover, the sources stated that Gulf War’s campaign mode will be a standalone story developed from the ground up rather than using resources from the previous titles.
Players can use the vehicles to explore and navigate throughout the map. In addition, the game will also feature a fast travel system to get from one point to another. Sources confirmed that some linear missions will be included in the game, though it’s unclear how many will be in total.
The same source also mentioned that the game’s single-player campaign experience will be similar to Far Cry rather than Modern Warfare 3. In addition, Raven Software’s Call of Duty Black Ops: Gulf War will also see the return of several Black Ops characters, such as Adler.
According to sources, the Black Ops Gulf War is not the only open-world campaign in the series, as Activision might move forward and explore more in the future. 2025 Call of Duty, codenamed ‘Saturn’, might also feature an open-world campaign.
However, it is unclear which studio is currently working on the project, and the Saturn map is expected to be separated into several different biomes/locations.
Call of Duty Black Ops Gulf War is speculated to be released in October 2024 and will be the sixth title in the Call of Duty Black Ops series.
