Online reports now claim that Activision suffered a data breach in December that exposed private records, including a timetable that emphasizes the entire year of Call of Duty.
A calendar was found among these documents, detailing the dates for an unidentified project called “Jupiter” and the season structure for the coming year. Although the exact nature of this is unknown, there is anticipation that it is the much-anticipated release we have all been discussing and will arrive in 2023.
Did the Activision Data Breach Show All?
We’ll emphasize that this material has not been verified, so proceed cautiously.
The leaked records appeared to contain the whole schedule for the coming year, with a season structure that resembles this:
- Season 3: March 15 – May 15
- Season 4: May 15 – July 16
- Season 5: July 17 – September 14
- Season 6: September 15 – November 8
The operating paradigm we’ve all learned also had mid-season changes (Reloaded updates) scheduled for each season. Yet, the calendar alone was sufficient to disclose a substantial amount of Call of Duty content arriving in 2023.
- Seven “Core Maps,” some of which are likely to be recycled versions of earlier maps that we anticipate.
- The “Haunting of Saba” Halloween event.
- Every season, there is one “Licensed” operator, which denotes a partnership or crossover.
- Beginning with Season 3, there will be more gunfights, Spec Ops missions, raids, and Tier 1 Events.
- One “Little Map,” which will debut with Season 4, should be comparable to Shipment.
- At least 240 additional packages (70 per season).
And, of course, there are release dates for “Jupiter,” which may be the upcoming Call of Duty game. In the pictures that @vxunderground leaked on Twitter, it’s virtually entirely hidden. The periods for “Jupiter GL4” (7th – 28th of April), “Jupiter Alpha” (May 26 – June 2), and “Jupiter GL5” are nevertheless discernible (9th – 30th of June).
These are development cycles, sprint cycles, release windows, or other events while creating a game. It is still necessary to get further details. While we know what an Alpha is, we are only somewhat familiar with the GL phases.
It’s also important to note that the information in the schedule may have changed since this breach occurred on December 4 (with Activision remaining silent on the subject) (and likely has).
