Sledgehammer Games' Call of Duty still hasn't come out yet and people are already talking about what's next - Treyarch's presumed sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War. Although most of the information we have about the game comes from leaks and insiders (legitimate ones, if we may add), which is unlike Call of Duty 2023 whose leakers are as official as they come, something tells us that Call of Duty fans might want to take note of the location for next year's Call of Duty.
A social media slip-up from the actor, Luke Charles Stafford, suggests the next installment will plunge players straight into the tumultuous sands of the Gulf War.
In posts reportedly deleted from his Facebook page, Stafford enthused about how Activision Blizzard chose him to craft the protagonist of Call of Duty 2024, a character named "Ratcliffe." Stafford also shared images of himself in a motion capture studio, implying that his role extended beyond a simple facial scan. It's worth noting, however, that Stafford's posts were removed shortly after their appearance.
Connecting the dots, Ratcliffe appears to be Major Peter Ratcliffe, a decorated British Army veteran who served during the Gulf War and earned the Distinguished Conduct Medal. This suggests that the upcoming Call of Duty installment will cast players into the crucible of the 1990-91 conflict, primarily fought in Iraq and Kuwait, with Ratcliffe as the lead.
