Not much more is known about the game as of yet, however fan speculation of the existence of Black Ops 4 blew up earlier this week when a tweet by ESPN’s Official NBA account posted a short clip of Houston Rockets player James Harden arriving at a game wearing what appeared to be hat with the stylized Black Ops 4 logo.
