Call of Duty insider TheGhostofHope recently posted details about the franchise’s next game of 2026. According to him, the game will introduce two notable mechanics, omnimovement and wall running. While their introduction would represent a big change to the gameplay dynamic of the series, the response may vary among fans.
Call of Duty 2026 to Feature Omnimovement and Wall Running, Insider Reveal
Omnimovement, introduced earlier this year in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 by Treyarch, has been praised for enhancing player mobility. This mechanic lets players take action in any direction for the first time in the franchise’s 25-year history. There, players can shoot to the left, right, forward, or back while sprinting, giving a more controlled shooting experience in hectic fights.
The feature also mixes well with tactical movements like sliding under stoppers, dodging bullets, and rolling through windows. While Tactical Sprint is a versatile move, Operators can only do this move forward — it is not possible to perform Tactical Sprint in all directions. Omnimovement is brand new, and the community has largely welcomed it as a competent edition of the series.
The wall running, however, might have a harder time winning players over. This mechanic, which appeared in less successful titles like Black Ops 3 and Infinite Warfare, has a divisive reputation among fans. Certain players enjoy the added verticality and creative opportunities that it offers, while others see it as a departure from the grounded combat style for which Call of Duty is known. Adding to skepticism, TheGhostofHope cited the possible inclusion of remastered maps from 2011’s Modern Warfare 3, which most fans do not consider iconic or particularly well-liked.
The cycle continues with whatever 2025 holds from Sledgehammer Games before Infinity Ward takes the baton for 2026. The next entry for Sledgehammer (also known for creating Vanguard and Modern Warfare III, both of which saw a lukewarm reception) is also said to include wall running. With all of this in place, it seems that the Call of Duty franchise will be expanding its horizons even more, though only time will tell if these features make waves.
