Call of Duty is undoubtedly one of the most popular FPS franchises of all time. And the popular ones are always, in some way or the other, vulnerable to leaks. While it is not how the publishers or developers intend to roll, it’s probably impossible to control the same.

The game is slated to release on October 28, 2022. In addition to the obvious bits of information scattered throughout the video, there was an interesting not-so-obvious hint. 

Many noted a code “J-8-22” that showed up at 45 seconds into the video. As many fans would suggest, it’s a date for the reveal. Considering it’s a date, there could be two options, with one being June 8 and the other being July 8.

In other related news, another interesting rumor regarding Call of Duty Modern Warfare II sprung up yesterday. It claimed that the game may be a part of the upcoming State of Play (Sony) event on June 2.

However, a notable industry insider (reportedly) quickly dismissed this claim. 

Interestingly, Ralph had previously claimed (on May 23) that the Summer Game Fest 2022 will feature around 4 mins of Call of Duty Modern Warfare II footage. Shortly after he dismissed the rumor by General Gaming News, Ralph replied to his previous tweet with an update. He stated that the reveal will consist of pure in-game footage and the runtime will be 7 minutes.
