Earlier today, players began to notice a tease forCall of Duty 2020,rumored to be callCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War,inside ofWarzone,Modern Warfare’sbattle royale mode. While some aspects of the tease are quite obvious, there’s an additional tidbit of information that points towards the game being a reboot of theBlack Opsfranchise.
Not only is the extra information easy to miss, but to understand it, players will need to be able to read Russian. Shortly after the tease pops up, fans will see the words “know your history” appear on-screen. Moments after that, just for a second, another two lines of text appear. However, the two lines are not only in Russian, but badly faded.

The full line of text appears to be “Обречён ПоЬторениею,” which when literally translated means “doomed by repentance,” or more accurately “doomed to repeat it.” This could mean a lot of different things, and it’s even possible that the entire clue is meant to hint towards something bigger, but it seems that the developers are hinting at repeating history, or in this case, repeating a game.
Of course, this is all speculation, and should be taken with a massive grain of salt.
