Miss Titanfall? Rejoice! Wall-running appears destined for Call of Duty once more
We're almost in the summer season of 2025 already, if you can believe it. The hype train will power up for all sorts of new gaming releases soon, and that includes Call of Duty. Year in and year out, the CoD cycle chugs on. Black Ops 6's days will soon be numbered, and a new CoD will be revealed, with all signs pointing to the 2025 title being another Black Ops game and potentially a direct sequel to Black Ops 2. Image via Activision The full reveal of the new CoD may not be for a while, but we have already gotten a taste of how the formula may be changing this time around, and it's good news for a specific section of the fanbase: welcome back, wall-running. It started with a TikTok video, as is usually the case these days. The video in question showed a player wall-running in Verdansk, teasing a gameplay mechanic that was a staple in the series for a few entries, namely games like Black Ops 3, Black Ops 4, and Infinite Warfare. With viral videos like this, you always have to question their validity, but it appears to be real. This morning, data miners have found strings of data within BO6 itself that likely explain the TikTok and how the player was able to pull off the wall-running in the first place. Somehow, likely because the new CoD will replace BO6 in CoD HQ, the controversial movement mechanic is already in place, and players who hack or manipulate data somehow may be able to use it. While not quite the jetpack movement of games like Advanced Warfare, wall-running may introduce another skill gap to movement, similar to how BO6's omnimovement changed up the franchise this year. And it'll be a love-it-or-hate-it situation, just as it was in past games. CoD leakers have several things to say about what the new game, including that it will be led again by Treyarch, include remastered BO2 maps, mark the return of round-based Zombies, and re-introduce a Pick-10 create-a-class system similar to BO2's. The earliest we could see the new CoD title would be on June 9 at the Xbox Games Showcase, so potential confirmation of the above rumors may be just weeks away. The post Miss Titanfall? Rejoice!
