A podcast about Call of Duty on a casual and professional level. We're two gamers who have been playing Call of Duty for years now and have a passion for it. More specifically, watching professional Call of Duty. The scene is slowly growing with the Call of Duty League being introduced. We are casual players that love the scene and want the CDL to thrive in the future. Our goal for this podcast is to introduce more casual players to the CDL and hopefully resinate the same passion we have for COD in others. Hosted by: Justin Yin and Mike Hargens

IS CALL OF DUTY IN TROUBLE? | MW4 2026 RUMORS! | The COD Casuals Ep. 253

Welcome to episode #253 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!

In this episode, we dive into some breaking news regarding the future of Call of Duty. As stated by Activision, Call of Duty will no longer do back to back releases for the same developer/series, meaning we will return to the original formula of developers alternating years in the hopes of a more developed game. This begs the question though if they should have COD on a two-year release cycle. What are the benefits of this move, and what are the challenges they would face? Along with this, we discuss a leaked rumor regarding the state of next year’s COD title, and things are not looking good so far. We share our thoughts on what has been rumored, and what is the best path for COD going forward so Activision can hold up to their statement of “we will deliver, and overdeliver, on those expectations going forward.” Finally, we close with our CDL review as we go into the winter break, and share our thoughts on where each team stands currently.

What do you think of the move back to alternating years for developers for COD? Do you think this will lend itself into more successful development cycles and produce better games, or is there a bigger issue that needs to be resolved? What do you think of the “MW4” rumors? Finally, what are your biggest takeaways from the first two weekends of the CDL? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.
