The Season 5 teaser for Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War has hints about COD: Vanguard.
There is a hidden term in Season 5's teaser that says "Vangaardo kitaru", which loosely translates to Vanguard is coming.
The new game is expected to release later in 2021 but there is no official release date yet.

A new Call of Duty (COD): Warzone teaser that showed up for Season 5 is potentially hiding a reference to Call of Duty: Vanguard. Earlier this week, the official Call of Duty Twitter account posted an image of an upcoming operator which will be available in both Warzone and Black Ops Cold War. Keen-eyed members of the community quickly noticed that the text near the right edge of the screen can be decoded to "Vangaado kitaru”. The term loosely translates to “Vanguard is coming”, indicating that Call of Duty’s next game is coming soon.

What is Call of Duty: Vanguard

For those who are unfamiliar with “Vanguard”, it is the next Call of Duty Game that is launching sometime later in 2021. Rumors surrounding the game first started circulating earlier this year and many leaks have suggested that the upcoming COD will be set in the World War Two era. The teaser for Warzone which was published by the official Call of Duty Twitter account is the first official confirmation that Vanguard is indeed the next COD title.

It has been confirmed that COD 2021: WW2 Vanguard is being developed by Sledgehammer Games. The more recent COD installments were developed by Treyarch, Infinity Ward, and Raven Software, while Sledgehammer Games has been out of the news for a while. After months of speculation that the studio is working on the upcoming title, it was confirmed by COO of Activision-Blizzard, Daniel Alegre that the next COD game is being developed by Sledgehammer.

The teaser that was posted for Season 5 of Warzone shows off a new operator who will be coming to both Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War. A new cinematic also dropped showcasing the new operator and it looks like the new Season 5 operator is a hacker. There might be hidden teasers in the cinematic and going by how the previous Call of Duty games have hidden teasers leading up to their sequels, players might get some hidden information about Vanguard in Season 5. Season 5 is set to release sometime next week and fans are excited to see what’s in store for both Warzone and Black Ops Cold War.
