The fine print on the Call of Duty 2020 Doritos promotion states that it begins on October 5, 2020. As some may recall, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Doritos 2 XP promotion started on the exact same date last year. What this means is that it’s very likely that Call of Duty 2020’s release date will be some point in October, with five dates in October in particular that stand out as the most likely possibilities.

New Call of Duty games generally release on Fridays, and assuming the new game sticks to that pattern, Call of Duty 2020’s release date is likely October 9, 16, 23, or 30. And out of those possibilities, October 23 or 30 seem to be the safest bets, as CoD games tend to release closer to November. Of course, it’s possible that the new Call of Duty release date is going to be later than expected or that plans with this Doritos promotion have changed, so fans should keep that in mind.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is already a huge shift away from tradition, as the new Call of Duty games have been consistently revealed by the end of May every year for a decade now. It’s nearly August, and Activision has yet to unveil anything about the game beyond acknowledging the fact that the company still plans on releasing a new Call of Duty game this holiday season. It’s unclear why Activision has decided to go this route when it comes to revealing the new Call of Duty, but hopefully the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War reveal happens sooner rather than later.

Many Call of Duty leakers and insiders seem to believe that Black Ops Cold War will be revealed through the Warzone battle royale, and with Season 5 right around the corner, it’s possible the wait will soon be over.

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War will launch later this year for unspecified platforms.
