More CoD: Infinite Warfare details announced… story, special editions, Zombies Mode, more
After dropping the debut trailer this morning, Activision has announced a few more details about Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. In development at Infinity Ward, Infinite Warfare will “break new ground” by giving players command of their warship:
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare puts storytelling front and center in a rich, immersive narrative. 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.
We’ve also learned that Infinite Warfare’s competitive multiplayer modes will include an emphasis on “front-line engagement,” and that players who love to play cooperatively can look forward to an all-new Zombies Mode. More details about Infinite Warfare’s multiplayer component will be available at a later date.
Infinity Ward will host a Twitch livestream at 1:30 PM (Eastern Time) to talk more about Infinite Warfare.
Activision also revealed a bit more about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered this morning. The game will be rebuilt by Raven Software to include “vibrant current generation visuals,” along with “fully improved texture resolution and detail, high-dynamic range lighting, lit and shadowing VFX particles, […] and much more.” The game will also include a selection of ten multiplayer maps including favorites such as “Crash,” “Backlot” and “Crossfire.” However, there’s still word on if Modern Warfare Remastered will be available as a standalone download.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered will be available for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One on November 4. In addition to the previously-announced Legacy Edition and Digital Legacy Edition, the games will also be bundled together with a Season Pass in the Digital Deluxe Edition (Retail Price: $99.99). An even pricier Legacy Pro Edition (Retail Price: $129.99) will include both games, the Season Pass, a Soundtrack, and other digital items, all housed in a Steelbook case.

Activision officially announces Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Modern Warfare remaster
Activision and Infinity Ward have finally made it official… Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will be launch this November alongside a remastered re-release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Players who purchase the retail-only Legacy Edition or download-only Digital Legacy Edition of Infinite Warfare (both are priced at $79.99) will receive a free download code for Modern Warfare. Presumably, Activision will also offer Modern Warfare Remastered as a standalone purchase at some point.
As for Infinite Warfare, players will indeed take a trip to space as a new enemy known as the Settlement Defense Front has invaded Earth from their orbiting space station. The near-future setting will also include battle robots, outer space dogfights, and a zero-gravity raid on the space station.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered will both be available for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One on November 4.

Activision begins teasing Call of Duty 2016 with a new video
There have been so many Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare leaks over the past few days that it’s hard to keep them all straight. But it looks like Activision is finally getting ready to reveal the game that’s still officially known as “Call of Duty 2016.”
A new video, titled “Know Your Enemy,” was uploaded to Call of Duty’s YouTube account just an hour ago. In it, a man delivers this monologue while images of the “Ghost” balaclava from Modern Warfare 2 occasionally interrupts the feed:
“Make no mistake, we will rip you from the history books. Every last trace of you, gone. You will know loss. We will be the architects of your pain. We will build monuments to your destruction. The whole world will bear witness to this: our ascension. We will blot out the skies, we will bury you in darkness. Know this, and know us. We are your enemy. We are the Settlement Defense Front.”
I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will be announced sometime soon, and it’ll be released for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One this November.
UPDATE: A second teaser trailer, available after the break, has been released by Activision. In the video, a Lieutenant Reyes hacks the feed and tells viewers to visit M.me/CODMessenger for more information, because it’s “the only secure comms channel.” (more…)

Rumor: Call of Duty IN SPACE is real and coming this Fall
It’s looking more and more likely the “Call of Duty IN SPACE” hints that Infinity Ward’s Mark Rubin teased back in 2013 will directly influence this Fall’s Call of Duty 2016.
Expected to be released this November, Call of Duty’s excellent space-based adventure was outed by Eurogamer, who corroborated a similar story being told by a game industry insider at NeoGAF.
Three years ago, Rubin told the Metro newspaper that “everything’s on the table” for Call of Duty 2016. Later adding, “If we think that it’d be cool to have a battle over Jupiter, sure. Why not?” The developer, who is no longer employed at Infinity Ward, was just playfully musing at the time, but after the smashing success of Destiny, I wouldn’t put it past Activision to launch another space-based shooter.
We’ll find out exactly what form Call of Duty 2016 will take during this year’s E3 Expo, where Activision plans to unveil the next game in the franchise during Sony’s E3 Press Conference.

Call of Duty 2016 will make its debut at E3, but Activision will skip the show floor this year
Activision has announced that Call of Duty 2016, which is in development at Infinity Ward, will make its public debut at this year’s E3 Expo. The highly anticipated new game will receive a prime showcase during Sony’s E3 Press Conference, where developers from Infinity Ward plan to provide a gameplay walkthrough and reveal some of the game’s new features.
However, Activision also said they won’t have a booth on the E3 show floor this year. That makes them the second major publisher to drop out of the show after EA’s similar departure in January.
Even without a presence at the year’s biggest gaming event, Activision’s Scott Lowe also found the time to talk about the Call of Duty World League’s Challenge Division and the Call of Duty Championship over at the Activision Games Blog.
Activision confirms Skylanders 6, new Call of Duty from Infinity Ward, Destiny expansion in 2016; Destiny 2 coming in 2017
Activision revealed a first look at their 2016 release slate during today’s quarterly financial report… and you’ll never believe what they announced. Nah, I’m just kidding, even an amateur prognosticator could figure out what Activision has in store for this year.
First up, the publisher confirmed that Infinity Ward will develop the next entry in the Call of Duty franchise, which will be released this Fall. The developer’s most recent game was 2013’s Call of Duty: Ghosts, and right now it’s unknown if they’ll continue with that story or move in a different direction. But we do the currently untitled Call of Duty 2016 will be Infinity Ward’s first in Activision’s new three-developer cycle for the series.
Activision is also aiming to launch the sixth entry in the Skylanders series in Fall 2016. Skylanders 6 is in development at Toys For Bob and will be released alongside Skylanders Academy, a new television series based on the franchise.
Bungie’s Destiny will receive more content in 2016, but don’t expect a full-fledged sequel just yet. Another “large” expansion to the original game will be released this year, and the famed developer announced they’ll launch Destiny 2 in 2017.
Finally, Blizzard got a chance to discuss their plans for 2016, but the developer just reiterated a release schedule that we’ve known for a while. Overwatch, their upcoming hero shooter, is on track for a Spring 2016 release on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. And World of Warcraft: Legion, the sixth expansion to the world’s favorite MMO, will be released this Summer, just after the June premiere of the Warcraft movie.
