“Activision will continue to build on its direct digital relationship with this expanded community as it delivers the next premium installment for Call of Duty, which comes from the wholly owned Call of Duty studios Treyarch and Raven Software," Activision said on an earnings call reported by CharlieIntel.

This marks the first time Activision has revealed the developers of the upcoming Call of Duty 2020 game, which is reportedly called Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War. According to CharlieIntel, and based on previous Call of Duty releases, the game will be released during Activision's Q4, which falls between October and December of this year. There's no word on its status as current or next-gen, but it will likely span both generations of consoles to maximize the player base.
