To give a brief, Advanced Warfare is a 2014 video game title based in a futuristic war setting. Moreover, Sledgehammer Games has played a pivotal role in building this title of the franchise. Recently, there had been rumors living on the internet about an expected sequel of Advanced Warfare.

Also, CharlieIntel, a trusted source for Call of Duty-related news, had spoken about the rumors. Through a tweet, the organization said, “here’s an unverified rumor that Advanced Warfare 2 from Sledgehammer is coming in 2025. We cannot confirm this at all, and it also seems unlikely Activision won’t give Treyarch’s 2024 game a 2 year cycle.” However, it seems that the rumors might have reached a dead end, at least for a while.
