A brand new "Call of Duty" rumor has started to surface as of recently that claim that an upcoming "Call of Duty" 2021 will bring everything from the PS4, the PS5, Microsoft's Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X, and of course the PC players into an all out World War 3. This rumor suggests that this will be a sequel to "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare".

An article by ComicBook, however, states that this particular rumor isn't actually true according to a particular "Call of Duty" insider. At the same time, another one does not outright deny this raging rumor, but still notes that they themselves haven't even heard of this happening.

Responding to this particular rumor circulating on Twitter, a certain "Call of Duty" insider as well as leaked known as Tom Henderson, who has also proven to be quite reliable along with the various scoops that all pertain to Modern Warfare, Black Ops Cold War, and even Warzone. These rumors are reportedly untrue. More specifically, when the whole rumor was brought to Henderson's own attention and asked if this was true, he directly said no.

Is there a Call of Duty World War 3?

Meanwhile, the equally prominent and popular "Call of Duty" source called ModernWarzone on Twitter had chimed in regarding the rumod. The account then noted that they have not actually heard anything that could validate this rumor, which, at this given point, still seems to be about partly, if not actually entirely, nonsensical.

Rumors going around about WW3 being the next #CallofDuty title developed by @SHGames.

Just chiming in to say that we havent heard anything about this, however that doesn’t mean it’s false.

Will let you all know as soon as we have some sort of idea what’s going on with SHG.

The whole speculation that 2021 will be a brand new release coming from Sledgehammer games, and also that there might be something to this whole speculation, especially that is based on one of the recent Tweets coming from the developer, but still sounds like despite if Sledgehammer would come up next, it still won't be taking gamers to World War 3. This rumor has also been noted by an article by EssentiallySports.

What is the next Call of Duty 2021?

"Call of Duty" leaks 2021 are expected to come out but gamers might have to pass up on the whole concept of World War 3 since the prominent insiders have claimed that they know nothing regarding this rumor. However, it also might be too early for anyone to confirm anything as rumor has just recently started and new information could possibly surface anytime.

As of the moment, without further information to confirm as to whether the rumor is true or not, or even give more assurance that there is such a thing in existence, gamers would have to take this rumor with caution. It is still important to rely on the official announcement of Activision themselves regarding the plans for "Call of Duty" 2021.

So far, even the prominent insiders who have been able to confirm certain rumors or leaks in the past either denied or stated that they do not know anything about this rumor. This puts the likeliness of "Call of Duty" World War 3 most likely not happening.
