According to the latest leaks and rumors, the 2023 Call of Duty game could be released on August 1. Every year around this time, Call of Duty leaks begin, and it appears that the forthcoming 2023 version is no exception.

According to rumors, Activision was planning to avoid producing a full-fledged new CoD game this year. If this is the case, it will be the first time since 2005 that there is no new Call of Duty game on the market.

Activision has responded to these reports, and it is now expected that a new Call of Duty game will be released this holiday season. Official information on what the project will include are not yet public, but a recent report may have revealed a key date that CoD fans should keep an eye on.

According to Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, who has a proven track record of accurate Call of Duty leaks, the next game in the long-running first-person shooter franchise will be released on Tuesday, August 1.

The disclosure is supposed to be part of an in-game event, continuing a trend that began with the reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War a few years ago. According to the source, August 1 was “penciled in,” thus the plans could change.

Fans should always take leaks with a grain of salt, but Henderson has previously accurately released a lot of CoD news, so there’s no need to disbelieve him now. If the new Call of Duty game isn’t unveiled until August, fans will find out about it just a few months before its official release date. This technique has advantages and disadvantages, but it should mean that fans won’t have to wait too long after the unveiling to participate in a beta.
