The next Call of Duty reveal starts with a Snapchat account

Probably

This has been a weird week for social media-related game reveals and teases. First, Square Enix set off to announce a game by streaming a man lying unconscious in a cell. Now, Call of Duty has updated one of its old titles to put focus on selfies rather than shooters.

Anyone still playing Black Ops II‘s multiplayer may have noticed an alteration to a couple of the maps. Two Snapchat QR codes have been added on posters throughout the levels. Scanning them from within the app adds Call of Duty as a friend.

The Call of Duty account has already posted two “stories” — updates that can be seen by all followers and aren’t subject to disappearing after the initial viewing. The first, embedded in this tweet, is a video that says “listen only to the sound of my voice,” and mostly shows a forest. The second is more involved, as this tweet captures.

Call of Duty traditionally announcement its new annual title around the start of May. While it may seem a bit early now, this has all the makings of a new game reveal. But, we’ll have to stay glued to social media to watch the puzzle unfold.
