Call of Duty 2021is yet to be officially revealed. While Activision-Blizzardhas confirmed that a new entry in the long-running yearly franchise will arrive later in 2021, with development led by Sledgehammer Games, there aren’t many official details right now. Now, it appears the game’s reveal won’t take place aroundE3 2021but instead some other time over the coming months.
According to a report fromVGC, the nextCall of Dutywill not be revealed during E3 2021.
