The upcoming sequel of ‘Call of Duty’ is definitely a highly anticipated one. Till a few days back, no information about the game was out, but on 30 April, the game’s official YouTube channel teased the game with a 33 second video titled ‘Know Your Enemy.’ In the small clip, an anonymous man who appears to be a veteran war personnel warns us of the impending doom and chaos, which is to be unleashed and which will “tear you from the history books.” He goes on to add, “The whole world will bear witness to this: our ascension.”
Recently, there have been leaks about the name, gameplay and release dates of the upcoming edition. Now, few hours back a complete reveal trailer of the game has been uploaded by its official YouTube channel, where the summary of the video says, “Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare returns to the roots of the franchise where large scale war and cinematic, immersive military storytelling take center stage. Prepare for a gripping war story in which players fight against the Settlement Defense Front to defend our very way of life.”
Here’s what we know from the trailer:
- The name of this edition of the game is indeed Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
- The game will be released over Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4 on 4 November, 2016.
- It is set in a distant future, where space fights, war-robots and battles on other planets is a reality.
- Players who pre-order the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Legacy Edition or Digital Deluxe Edition will also be eligible for a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered , which will wrap up the campaign with 10 new multiplayer maps.
Other than that, the gameplay will bring back memories to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players, as the movements and gameplay style seem similar. As seen in the different editions of Modern Warfare, where new challenges and scenarios were added, seems like over here too we will get to witness the same thing (the space fights being the new addition).
The game’s story seems to revolve around the player’s task force going up against the ‘Settlement Defense Front,’ who threaten the world with savage military attacks in an attempt to obliterate the civilisation and build a new one.
Though the multiplayer aspects of the game have not been revealed, we can expect an announcement tonight as Infinity Ward and Activision have definitely paid heed to the fans as they will be revealing more about the game tonight, with a LIVE stream on Twitch at 10:30 am PDT.
