    Call of Duty 2024: This is what we know so far
    The latest installment of the Call of Duty (CoD) series is anticipated for a fall 2024 release, with a probable launch in October or November, based on the historical pattern of the franchise's release schedule.

    Despite Microsoft's recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard, assurances have been made by Phil Spencer that Call of Duty games will continue to be available on PlayStation consoles, with a deal also in place for future titles on Nintendo hardware.
    The uncertainty around the franchise's future on PlayStation has been overshadowed by the completion of the acquisition, granting Xbox more control over its destiny. The game is expected to release on the standard platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, with the possibility of an extension to Nintendo consoles due to a potential long-term agreement.

    As for the game's setting and timeframe, while leaks have suggested a focus on the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia, conflicting reports indicate diverse possibilities. Some sources suggest a return to the Black Ops series, specifically a title named Black Ops Gulf War, set in the early 90s with a more traditional, boots-on-the-ground style of gameplay. Contrarily, industry insider Tom Henderson hinted at a semi-futuristic approach in Treyarch's next game. Other rumors speculate on the Iraq War in the early 2000s. The lack of consensus makes predicting the game's specifics challenging at this stage.
