It's more than a bit strange that fans haven't seen the next entry in the Call of Duty franchise yet, despite the game presumably releasing in the next few months. While that can likely be blamed on the ongoing controversies at Activision Blizzard, which allege a toxic workplace environment ripe with sexual harassment, even before that news broke fans were expecting some form of information about the rumored Call of Duty: Vanguard. However, the wait may be worth it.

Over on Twitter, insider Tom Henderson, who has accurately leaked information about Call of Duty and other FPS games, shared a few small details about how fans might react to the game's eventual reveal. According to Henderson, fans are going to "explode" when they finally get a look at Call of Duty: Vanguard, and apparently in a positive way.

So far, fans have heard almost nothing about the next entry in the ever-popular Call of Duty franchise, despite the game typically ramping up its marketing around June. Rumors have circulated that Call of Duty: Vanguard will be revealed in Warzone, which is what Activision used to reveal Black Ops Cold War, though nothing has been officially confirmed in that regard. Rather, fans have been left waiting empty handed.

There's hope that more information will drop soon, though, as a recent Call of Duty: Warzone Season 5 promotional image hid a teaser in Japanese Kanji that read "Vanguard is coming" when translated to English. Vanguard is heavily rumored to take place during World War 2, which does line up with the tease being in Japanese. Still, though, fans are left without much to go on in the meantime.

Whether or not now's a good time to talk about the next entry in the Call of Duty franchise is a matter of debate itself, though. The community is still reeling from the State of California's lawsuit against Activision Blizzard, and waves of stories detailing harassment, toxicity, and other products of mismanagement have flooded the internet in the time since the lawsuit was made public. Doubtlessly, the lawsuit will overshadow the event, and rightly so, which puts the Call of Duty franchise in a difficult position, though one of Activision's own making.

Fans are just going to have to wait for the reveal before they can be certain of anything, though Henderson's vote of confidence should be a welcome indicator of the game's quality. This fall is jam-packed with high-profile FPS games, so there will certainly be something for shooter fans to play no matter what.

Call of Duty: Vanguard is rumored to be in development, though its title has not been confirmed.
