It comes as no surprise that we’ll be seeing a new Call of Duty Title this year, this was confirmed by Activision earlier this month though recent developments have revealed more on this topic.
The production company recently registered a BlackOps2.com domain name and furthermore an online resume of one of the game’s developers includes Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
Amazon France has also had a listing for Black Ops 2 online but this was taken down after a few hours.
Game artist Hugo Beyer even had his online CV spotted after hawk-eyed readers noticed he had Black Ops 2 listed as one of his last jobs.
This doesn’t necessarily mean we’re going back to the early 70s with this upcoming title but possibly the next chapter for Jason Hudson, Grigori Weaver and Alex Mason, the protagonists from Black Ops 1.

“According to the unlocked Intel, Mason never fully recovered from the brainwashing, making the CIA suspicious of his future actions. Weaver and Hudson became targets of suspicion as well for their association with Mason and their supposed complicity in gathering top secret information for Mason. Sometime in 1978, Mason’s decision to chase an as of yet unknown lead led the CIA to deem him “burnt” and a threat to national security, along with Hudson and Weaver who had escaped to South Africa with him. As of October 28, 1978, the CIA was making plans to form a joint task force with MI-6 in order to find and eliminate Mason, Hudson, and Weaver in what they dubbed as Operation Charybdis”, as summarised on the Call of Duty Wiki.
