The Call of Duty franchise is set to reveal their new trailer for multiplayer for the up and coming release of Black Ops: Cold war on Sept. 9, but instead what recently got leaked online was the appearance of a brand new game mode.

As Call of Duty always does before a release, the developers at Treyarch brought in some content creators to try out the unreleased game for a secret beta test on Sept. 3. However, one creator accidentally live-streamed on the gaming platform Twitch. The live stream was quickly removed, but that did not stop fans from snapping screenshots of the gameplay, and with the way the internet is today, images began to spread like a wildfire.

From what is now known about the brief leak, the new game mode seems to be called "VIP Escort." Whether you will be protecting a person or an object is unclear, but the objective seems pretty straight forward, protect and escort the object or person to the extraction site. While fighting off opposing players of course.

The anticipation for the next installment of the Call of Duty franchise continues to build as we inch closer and closer to release day.
