Call of Duty Slipstream appears on Battle.net with a logo
Through the well-known leaker Tom Henderson we have the opportunity to discover that on Battle.net, the Activision Blizzard platform, there is a series of files that refer directly to a Call of Duty Slipstream, complete with a logo that you can see just below in the tweet by Henderson. Whether it's COD's 2021 game?As you can see below, the logo only has the word Slipstream - no "Call of Duty" lettering is included. Through the link in the tweet, however, it is possible to reach a tracker that keeps track of Battle.net files, some of which are named "Call of Duty Slipstream". Previously, the files only reported the name "Call of Duty 2021" - the update happened recently.
Recall that currently Activision has only confirmed that a new chapter of Call of Duty will be released in 2021, but has not indicated any kind of official name, reference platforms or release periods. It is possible that Slipstream is not the name of the 2021 chapter of Call of Duty, although the presence of a dedicated logo is certainly a strong indication in that direction.
Hendereson, who we remember is a well-known leaker in Battlefield and Call of Duty, also states that - in his opinion - the Call of Duty Slipstream logo has a World War II style. Could this be the setting for the new COD?
Finally, here's the trailer for the Call of Duty Mobile Season 5 Battle Pass.

Call of Duty 2021 Appears On Battle Net, Codenamed 'Slipstream' With Logo
We’re getting into that time of the year where the upcoming Call of Duty title for 2021 could be revealed any day now. But, until the reveal is official, we only have leaks and speculation.
Reliable insider and leaker, Tom Henderson, has spotted the upcoming Call of Duty title for 2021 on Battle.net, after it was added to the platform on June 29th.
Of course, the title isn’t playable, and simply appears as a developer build with some boring numbers attached. But what is interesting is the codename that appears for the upcoming Call of Duty title, as well as the accompanying logo.

Call of Duty 2021 Appears On Battle.netFans shouldn’t get too excited, as the “Slipstream” subtitle is likely to be just a codename and not the official title for Call of Duty 2021. But as Henderson pointed out, the logo for the “Slipstream” codename is very WWII-esque.
This would line up with previous rumours surrounding the Call of Duty title for 2021, most notably that it will be called Call of Duty: Vanguard and set in the WWII era. The title is set to be developed by Sledgehammer Games, who most notably released Call of Duty: WWII back in 2017.
Sledgehammer Games’ previous WWII title received mixed reviews, but many praised the Headquarters Hub feature in the game, with fans pleading for the feature to make a return in 2021’s Vanguard.
Leaks also emerged recently from Call of Duty leaker, TheMW2Ghost, claiming that the ‘London Docks’ map from 2017’s WWII would be returning in Vanguard as DLC. He also went on to claim that a WWII version of a fan-favourite Call of Duty map would feature in Vanguard.
Codename LogoFor now though, all we know is that a new Call of Duty title has been confirmed for 2021 by Activision, and it has now appeared on Battle.net under the codename “Slipstream”. Check out the logo below, or head to the Battle.net website to see it for yourself.
