YouTube user ‘Drift0r’ claims to have seen the next Call of Duty game, and that it will be called Modern Warfare 4. This is the same person who leaked Call of Duty: Ghosts last year, so despite the lack of screenshots or video, there is some reason to believe Drift0r’s claims.

Speaking over footage of Call of Duty: Ghosts, Drift0r, explained how someone working on the game reached out to him with some media files which he saw, but could not share. He says the files look legitimate, and that he wants to protect his source so has to keep the files secret.

According to these rumors, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 appears to be set in the near future, maybe the 2020s or 2030s. Drift0r says the lighting is very impressive, and the map he saw was depopulated, looked like a power plant with multiple levels. He couldn’t explain where the map was set, but it was some kind of metropolis.

Drift0r has reason to believe that the game is codenamed Blacksmith, and is the next in the Modern Warfare series. While Drift0r has had successful leaks before, he admits that his source this time is not trusted, and the files he saw were not branded as Call of Duty, but looks like they could easily be from the series. Drift0r says if it’s not Modern Warfare 4, it’s definitely another very well developed AAA title.

It’s not difficult to imagine that publisher Activision would want another title in the Modern Warfare series, as it is massively successful. However, nothing that Drift0r saw sounds incredibly exciting. Last year’s Ghosts was polished, but uninspiring: Call of Duty really needs something fresh and exciting this year, especially with great competition from Titanfall and Battlefield 5, which is also rumored to be arriving in 2014.
