Call of Duty 2020 will apparently be teased in Call of Duty: Warzone

Call of Duty 2020 is apparently Easter in Call of Duty: Warzone, as players receive a short glitch / scrambled message appearing in-game that says, “know your history.” As reported by DualShockers, players, inclusive @NutterButterAF and Dr_ Diappoint, have encountered this message which also contains a Russian sentence that translates to “doomed to repeat it.”

This short tease can apparently appear at any point in a Warzone game, and lasts only about 3 seconds.

While there is no indication as to whether there will be more hints of Call of Duty 2020 in Warzone, Activision sent a locked crate to members of the press, saying it should not be opened until August 10 at 9am ET / 12PM ET / 5pm ET. This would suggest that we learn more about this mysterious Call of Duty next week.

In late July, a logo on a promotional Doritos bag may have leaked that the title for Call of Duty 2020 will be Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

Last week, Treyarch and Raven confirmed that they are the developers on this new game, and that their campaign and multiplayer are currently being tested internally.

As for the future of Call of Duty: Warzone, Activision chairman Rob Kotich said there will be a “very close integration” between Warzone and this upcoming Call of Duty game.
