A tipster has sent us over images from their internal GameStop database, which appears to show new listings related to 'CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS 4' merchandise.

There's listing in the GameStop system for lanyards, as well as several different listings for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 related t-shirts. The listings currently say that there are 0 in stock.

If you somehow doubted that the next CoD would be Black Ops 4, well here is more evidence.

I'd say end of the month, probably even next two weeks, we're going to get our first promo material leak like we did with WWII.

Says "ETA to WH (warehouse)" is May 1st, probably the day they reveal the game or a couple days after.

Damn that was pretty quick, I would expect there would be some variation with the title but straight up it's just Black Ops 4

welp....

I guess Black ops is popular enough for treyarch to not do a new series. I never played 3, but I enjoyed the campaigns of 1 and 2. Didn't bother with 3 because of how unrelated it looked to 1 and 2.

I guess 4 will probably continue whatever 3 did.

Yeah aside from having mentions to the events of 2's overall global impact, it has essentially zero relation to the rest of the series. 3 is kinda eh, I'm not big on it. It tries to be super mindblowing and ends up being ridiculously stupid.

Yeah if it's in the system. We'll probably hear about an even in a week or so and get the reveal by the end of the month. Just hope treyarch learned their lesson about the SP story. There's no need to try so hard, especially when you can't pull it off writing wise.

I hope they go back to the Cold War. Black Ops 3 was my least favorite of the series.

Still cant believe how badly they fucked up blops 3 campaign. You got chris meloni AND you made a great blops 2 campaign with multiple endings.

Black Ops 3 had a terrible campaign, both from a gameplay perspective and from a story one. The story at face value was nonsensical and then the "twist" that requires you to freeze frame mission briefing text crawls and read reddit posts boils down to "it was all a dream". Jesus Christ.

I like how this franchise can break off into so many standalone series, and for some series (like this one) we already reach the 4th game already lol.

So is Black Ops just the title they'll be using for Treyarch releases? I say this because despite Black Ops 1, 2, 3 all have the same series title, they all feel very different in many aspects outside of a few similarities.

Between this and the new BO3 update, is it safe to expect some sort of announcement sooner rather than later?

Black Ops 2 is a sequel to Black Ops featuring many of the same characters. Black Ops 3 only has tenuous links to the earlier games but Black Ops 2 is a straight follow up.

I wouldn't count on it too soon. They usually do a reveal trailer beginning of May during the NBA playoffs.

EDIT:

  • WWII - April 26
  • Infinite Warfare - May 2
  • Black Ops 3 - April 27
  • Advanced Warfare - May 1
  • Ghosts - May 21 (a bit later in May, shown during the Xbox One reveal)

And Black Ops in itself takes place in the same universe as World at War, and in some ways is a direct sequel to it.

Crazy that with this release, the Black Ops universe will be ten years old.

If this is like Black Ops 1 or 2 then I might get hyped for this. Loved the MP for those games a ton.

I was really hoping that we would see something new from Treyarch but BO4 is fine I guess. Treyarch is the dev that actually makes COD games interesting for me so no matter the name, it's probably gonna be a good time.

Sweet. Gimme that sweet Black Ops 4 Hardened Edition for the Switch, too.
ofc the first comment had to be asking for a Switch port...

anyways, Activision are quite predictable so I don't think anyone is too surprised by this. Wonder if they will keep going sci fi or if they're adding their spin on WW2 kinda like what BLOPS originally did, except I think it was the Cold War

A modern boots on the ground call of duty is what I wanted not WW2. Hopefully this is a sequel to black ops 2 because black ops 1 and 2 are in my top 3 COD's of all time. Hopefully they bring back some classic maps that aren't DLC.

Black Ops 3 was never supposed to have anything to do with WaW, Bo1, and Bo2. They just kept the name because it would sell. I heard a while back that this would be the last Black Ops game, but Activision/Treyarch is probably going to slap on Black Ops 4 to this year's COD to sell more copies.

I buy every Cod, but I'm going to be so disappointed if this isn't boots to the ground like the first black ops.

After the shit mindfuck campaign that was in the third game, I hope they took the opportunity to ignore supernatural / sci-fi shit
