What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

This comes from Eurogamer, which does its own reporting — for now, it's the only coverage. When it's Call of Duty, the story leaves the bubble on its own. The previous Call of Duty trailer came out 34 days before this story.

Bottom line: Safe to take the main point — it's the fine detail that sometimes shifts later.
