Activision Orders Prominent Call of Duty Leaker to Halt Disclosures

The move follows a rare public pushback from the Call of Duty account asserting leaks harm developers.

Overview

  • TheGhostOfHope said Activision issued a cease-and-desist and that he will stop leaking confidential Call of Duty information.
  • He deleted recent posts and updated his X bio to note he is a retired Call of Duty leaker while saying he will discuss only official news.
  • The official Call of Duty account weighed in on the situation, saying even incorrect leaks hurt development teams and distort player expectations.
  • That account previously denied a claim about a standalone Zombies release, calling it inaccurate with a public rebuke on X.
  • Recent unconfirmed claims from the leaker included a 2026 title reportedly called Modern Warfare 4 with a Korea-set campaign and a new Sledgehammer-led sub-franchise in 2027.
