Activision takes strong action against leakers, blocking them outright.

A leaker specializing in hacking the system claims Activision has 'legally requested' that they stop sharing information about Call of Duty's future plans.

Rumors about which Activision studio will develop the next game, its title, setting, and content are constantly circulating. But over the years, the number of reliable sources for these leaks has dwindled.

Following some extremely important statements from one of the last remaining prominent leakers last week, it seems Activision has reached its limit with this kind of information. Recently, a reputable leaker named TheGhostOfHope claimed that Activision is 'suing them legally' to stop revealing information about the future of the Call of Duty series.

The final straw seems to have been a (now deleted) leak from TheGhostOfHope on X last week. In the old post, the leaker revealed the bold information that Activision might be aiming for a major breakthrough next year to match the next generation of Xbox hardware by releasing an annual multiplayer game alongside a standalone Call of Duty Zombies title. This is something COD players have been waiting for for a long time.

In a rare public statement, Activision flatly denied TheGhostOfHope's claims: "The rumor mill is running at full capacity. But this is not true." The company even went so far as to directly demand that TheGhostOfHope stop leaking information about FPS games, threatening to sue them if they did not comply, based on the information the leaker shared.

In response to Call of Duty content creator 'TDawg', who questioned whether all of this actually confirmed TheGhostOfHope's leak was accurate, the official CoD account stated: 'No. Even if leaks are false, they still harm those developing the game and disrupt player expectations.'

While this statement is certainly true when it comes to the impact of leaks on a developer's plans, whether right or wrong, it could definitely backfire on Activision if they were simply lying and TheGhostOfHope's information turned out to be accurate. However, if they maintain such a stance, and do so so publicly, then I think we now have to believe that the reports of an independent zombie game are inaccurate.
