• The new Overclock system lets players upgrade equipment, throwables, field upgrades and even scorestreaks, broadening customization and stirring debate about loadout complexity.
• Movement evolves with chainable wall-jumps layered onto omnimovement, enabling up to three bounces for new traversal routes and vertical flanks.
• A new 6v6 mode, Overload, centers on carrying a device into enemy zones for points and will be playable in the beta.
• Call of Duty Next is slated for September 30, the beta opens October 2 for preorders and eligible Game Pass users with an open phase October 5–8, and the full release lands November 14 on consoles and PC, with some outlets reporting a reversal of the prior carry-forward plan.
