Well, as a gamer who was around back in 2012 when Black Ops 2 was released, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia every time I see that year mentioned. It feels like just yesterday I was marveling at the futuristic world Treyarch had created, with its X-ray vision sniper scopes and remote-controlled tanks. But alas, here we are in 2025, and while some of those advancements haven’t come to pass yet, it’s hard not to feel a bit old.

I remember the days when Call of Duty was just a simple shooter game, with no in-game cosmetics, crossplay or battle royale modes. Back then, Black Ops 2 seemed so far ahead of its time, and yet here we are, 13 years and two console generations later, and it’s still regarded as one of the best games in the series.

I wonder what the next Call of Duty game will bring us, especially since leaks suggest that it will be a sequel to Black Ops 2. If true, I can only hope that they manage to recapture the magic of that game and give us another classic experience. And who knows, maybe this time around we’ll finally see those remote-controlled tanks in action!

On a lighter note, it’s funny to think about how far we’ve come since Black Ops 2 was set in the future. I mean, who would have thought that by 2025, we’d be naming our ships after cars instead of presidents? Maybe one day we’ll even have a Call of Duty game set in the year 3000 and they’ll be naming things after memes!

2012’s Black Ops 2 was the farthest into the future that a Call of Duty game had been, transporting players as far ahead as the year 2025. However, now that the new year has arrived, Black Ops 2 is no longer set in the future.

If you can recall when Black Ops 2 was initially launched, it’s likely that moment caught your attention. Back then, 2025 seemed so distant in the future that it hardly crossed our minds. However, here we are in 2038, and I find myself pondering where the years have vanished to. Have you ever given 2038 a thought?

As a gamer, I remember eagerly anticipating the tech advancements teased by Treyarch in their games back in the early 2010s. Stuff like x-ray vision sniper scopes and tank bots walking on four legs seemed almost within reach for the near future. However, it seems we’re not quite there yet, falling short of the futuristic landscape they painted. In fact, some people even criticized it as being too advanced for its time.

In the year 2025 as they envisioned it, the world bore a stark resemblance to our current times, with NATO engaged in a chilly conflict with China, the United States electing its first female president, and the U.S.S Barack Obama still in service (recently christened vessels carry the names of Ford and JFK).

13 years have passed since the release of the first console version, and we’ve seen two entire console generations come and go. Today, Call of Duty is unrecognizable from its earlier self, boasting a wealth of in-game cosmetics, crossplay capabilities, and even a free-to-play battle royale mode.

CoD 2025 celebrates the milestone

Indeed, the year 2025 implies the arrival of another installment in the Call of Duty series, and if rumors hold true, this upcoming game marks the occasion by delivering a follow-up story directly from Black Ops 2.

According to Fumo Leaks, it’s suggested that Call of Duty 2025 will be set in the future, specifically in the year 2035. The main character this time is none other than David Mason from Black Ops, returning as our protagonist. This installment promises to include popular maps from the Black Ops series and aims to bridge the gap between the omnimovement of Black Ops 6 and the jetpack era by incorporating wall jumps.

The main detail yet undisclosed regarding the upcoming Call of Duty is the developer, though given that the game is scheduled for release in about 10 months, an official announcement likely won’t take much longer.

Although time seems to be moving at breakneck speed, making it feel like Black Ops 2 is no longer a game of the future, it continues to be highly esteemed as one of the greatest Call of Duty titles ever made and a benchmark for exceptional multiplayer map design.
