New Call of Duty promo material tips May 1 reveal

Alleged GameStop display hints at imminent unveiling

Activision could be preparing to reveal its new Call of Duty game - possibly titled Call of Duty: Ghosts - next week.

A photo of an alleged GameStop 'display blueprint' sent to IGN (pictured right) suggests that the retailer will be receiving new promotional materials related to this year's new Call of Duty game for display on May 1.

If true, this is likely to tie in with a wider public reveal.

This would mirror last year's reveal of Call of Duty: Blacks Ops 2, which was announced on May 1 during the NBA Playoffs.

It also corroborates with previous reports, which have tipped a May 1 reveal along with new gameplay details such as interactive loading screens and the ability to peek around corners and slide along the ground while firing.

Earlier this week, retail giant Tesco posted listings for Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the unannounced but previously rumoured Call of Duty: Ghosts, complete with box art that appeared to be genuine. Those listings have since been pulled.

    They could just put out BOps 2's trailer and no-one would tell the difference....

    I just wrote something massive defending CoD and why I like it, you know, one of my usual short stories, decided half way through I'd rather go play FF8, I'm going through it for the third time because I still haven't beaten Omega and it's an awesome game.

    Black Ops 2 had a great story and fun multiplayer. DOWN WITH GALBADIA GARDEN! Careful now.

    I agree, even though CoD has gotten a little stale in the past few years, Black Ops 2 is definitely the best in the series by far. The campaign was interesting and fun, the multiplayer had some significant changes, all for the better, and I still play the Zombies mode regularly.

    I know what you mean, regarding COD you could set your watch by it anyway, snippets in April, reveal in May, overload of detail in August and release in November....
