Posted on Feb 29, 2016 by Searge

The arrow struck the shield with a impactful “thud!”. Steve peeked around the shield’s edge and saw the arrow was wrapped in a note! Steve excitedly pulled it loose to see what it said…

“You’re happy you had that shield, aren’t you?”

And yes, Steve was pretty happy.

Call Of Duty 2016 News

 

 

'Call of Duty: Ghosts' is the last game developed by Infinity Ward for the franchise.

According to rumors, since the current-gen "Call of Duty" title, "Black Ops 3," is a continuation game, Infinity Ward might also come out with a continuation title for their own series in "Call of Duty."

Charlie Intel mentioned that this may well be the case, seeing as the last game that Infinity Ward did for Activision is "Call of Duty: Ghosts." The title was released in 2013, and of all the series titles under the "Call of Duty" franchise, Infinity Ward's last project is still waiting for a sequel. The other series that Infinity Ward did under the "Call of Duty" franchise, "Modern Warfare," already has at least three story installments already released.

However, CoDWatch says that "Ghosts 2" is out of the question, seeing as the original title never really took off when compared against other games in "Call of Duty." According to the industry observer, it is more likely that Infinity Ward will be adding a new sequel in the "Modern Warfare" story since the series is one of the most popular in the franchise. This is if the developer will not choose to make another series from the ground up.

It is also possible that Infinity Ward will aim to release a new title entirely, seeing as Activision tagged the upcoming "Call of Duty" game as an "innovative" one. The industry follower also mentioned that the upcoming new "Call of Duty" game is the start of another three-year cycle in between the developers. Since Sledgehammer Games and Treyarch already released a number of sequels under their series games, it is more likely that Infinity Ward is thinking of refreshing the franchise with a new series.
