While rumors and even actual early gameplay have surfaced surfaced for this year’s Call of Duty, Activision has still not announced it — which is unheard of given we usually hear about each year’s Call of Duty in May. Well, fortunately for us, leakers won’t let us down, as new Call of Duty 2020 multiplayer details have surfaced today.
This latest batch of Call of Duty 2020 multiplayer details come from YouTuber Xclusive Ace, who’s probably one of the best Call of Duty YouTubers around, and generally doesn’t post any baity or fake stuff. In short: we trust his report on this, which is why it’s on the site.
You can check the video or read up on our summary below.
