Xbox Could Be 'Gearing Up' For Call Of Duty Back Catalogue Announcement

In case you missed our recent story about Xbox Showcase rumours for this summer, it's been claimed that an announcement about Activision Blizzard's library of older titles may be coming in the near future.

This is according to Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson, who says Xbox could be "gearing up for an announcement on its back catalog of games following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard". The same source goes on to mention how the reported 'Black Ops Gulf War' game "might not be the only Call of Duty-related announcement" coming in June.

"Speaking with sources, it’s been said that Xbox is gearing up for an announcement on its back catalog of games following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, too, so Gulf War might not be the only Call of Duty-related announcement that we’ll be hearing in June."

Whether it's just Call of Duty or a wider range of Activision Blizzard titles remains to be seen, and we're assuming Tom's hinting at these games coming to Xbox Game Pass, as has been the plan for quite a long time.

This all stems from claims the new Call of Duty (which is again expected to be called Black Ops Gulf War) will be present at this year's Xbox Showcase, but there'll likely be a more "traditional" reveal prior to this event, with the Showcase taking a "deep dive" look at the title.

If we hear any developments or significant updates, we'll let you know.
