[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63150, member: 1"] This week, [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/xbox-games-showcase-announced-for-june']Microsoft announced the timing of its Xbox showcase event in June[/URL] as well as a follow-up Direct for a mystery game that looks like a clear tease for the next Call of Duty. This year’s mainline Call of Duty is [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/fresh-call-of-duty-2024-details-confirmed-alongside-gulf-war-setting-in-new-report']reportedly a Treyarch-developed Black Ops game set in the Gulf War[/URL]. Some had even thought it might be called Call of Duty Black Ops Gulf War, following the naming convention set out by the previous Black Ops game, [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war']Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War[/URL]. However, following Microsoft’s tease, eagle-eyed Call of Duty fans are giving the image included the zoom and enhance treatment, and believe the redacted section conceals the words Call of Duty Black Ops V. As many fans have pointed out, you can almost make out the ‘OPS’ from Black Ops in the redacted section in the bottom of the image. The suggestion is the spacing only makes sense if the words are ‘Black Ops V’, not ‘Gulf War.’ Why the V, specifically? It’s all in the pixels, fans believe. Actually, the single pixel to the right of the blacked out part of the image. Would it be more of a bar if it concealed a ‘5’ than a ‘V’? Some fans believe so. If the game is called Black Ops V, that would track with the roman numeral system used for previous Black Ops games (bizarrely, Activision went with [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/call-of-duty-black-ops-4']Black Ops IIII[/URL] for the fourth game in the series, as opposed to IV). Black Ops V would also be a somewhat puzzling choice given it wouldn’t actually be the fifth mainline Black Ops game, but the sixth. Perhaps Activision wants to lean more on the idea of this new Black Ops being a fully-fledged sequel after veering into potential sub-sub-brand territory with Cold War. Perhaps the game spans more than the Gulf War, so using the name in the title wouldn't properly reflect its content. Or perhaps Activision feels like having Gulf War in the title of the game is a step too far, even for Call of Duty. Whatever the case, fans don’t have long to wait to find out, given the Xbox Showcase and the Call of Duty Direct are a little over a month away. [I]Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN.
