UPDATE 2: Activision has revealed further information on Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, confirming that the game will put players in control of the captain of a warship.
“Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare puts storytelling front and center in a rich, immersive narrative,” said Activision. “Infinity Ward breaks new ground by exploring the weight of leadership and its responsibilities. In a desperate time of overwhelming adversity, the player, as Captain of their own warship, must take command against a relentless enemy. Experienced soldiers are thrust into extraordinary circumstances that will test their training and reveal their true character as they learn to lead and to make the hard decisions necessary to achieve victory.
“The game also introduces stunning, never before seen environments, new weaponry and inventive player abilities to Call of Duty. The entire campaign – from boots-on-ground combat to piloting high speed space-fighters – occurs as a near seamless experience with few visible loading times, and delivers the hallmark, blockbuster franchise moments that fans love.”
The game has currently only been confirmed for PS4, Xbox One and PC. It isn’t yet clear whether it is also coming to Xbox 360 or PS3.
“With Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, we are taking Call of Duty to places fans have never experienced in the series,” added Infinity Ward studio head Dave Stohl. “On one hand, this game is the kind of gritty, boots on the ground, visceral war story that Call of Duty is known for. On the other, its future setting takes players on a journey of epic scale and proportions, providing incredible gameplay innovations and new experiences for our fans. This is a grand scale, old-school, all-out war in an epic new-school setting. And it’s going to be a hell of a lot of fun.”
