Activision has confirmed that its next Call of Duty game will be called Infinite Warfare.
The game is due out on November 4th and will go ‘beyond Earth’ and take place in the wider solar system.
The game is being created by Infinity Ward, the studio that created the franchise in the first place. Infinity Ward is also the studio that sent the franchise into orbit with its hit Modern Warfare sub-brand (Its last game was 2013’s Call of Duty: Ghosts, which was the company’s first attempt at a game on PS4 and Xbox One).
A 3 and a half minute trailer for the game was released (which you can watch below).
But that’s not all. As previously reported, Activision is also releasing a remake of the original 2007 Modern Warfare game. The remake, developed by Raven Software, will be available in the Legacy Edition of the game, the Digital Deluxe Edition (which includes a Season Pass) and the Legacy Pro Edition, which includes all of that, a Steelbook case, a soundtrack and other assorted DLC.
The Modern Warfare remake will include the full campaign and 10 multiplayer maps from the 2007 original.
Both games are due for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
"This year, we’re both honoring the heritage of Call of Duty while taking players to incredible new heights," said Activision publishing chief Eric Hirshberg.
"Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is a bold, new vision from the studio that created the original Call of Duty and Modern Warfare, and an adventure on an insanely epic scale that only Call of Duty could deliver. And Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is one of the most beloved games of all-time, reborn for a new generation. We have lovingly remastered it with a whole new level of graphical fidelity and realism that wasn’t possible when the original was released. It’s going to be a great year for Call of Duty players."
Raven Software boss Brian Raffel added: The original Modern Warfare raised the bar on video games and forever will be remembered as one of the best. It’s an honor to be developing the remaster and we are committed to faithfully remastering this classic for Call of Duty fans."
