This year’s Call of Duty to be set in space?

---

Ghosts, Advance Warfare, Black Ops 2 and 3 have all dabbled with a slightly futuristic setting in recent years, but now it looks like the next entry in the Call of Duty franchise will be going further forward in time than any previous game has before.

This is according to NeoGaf user and industry source shinobi602, who claims the next CoD will be going “full on Sci-fi”. Eurogamer went on to corroborate Shinobi’s comments, adding that the game will feature space combat between two warring factions in the far future.

So far the rumours have not been officially confirmed, with Activision remaining silent on the matter.

The next Call of Duty is being developed by Infinity Ward, and it will be their first game since Activision introduced three-year development cycles.

Infinity Ward are not unfamiliar with an outer-space setting, with the opening level of 2013’s Ghost’s featuring a battle aboard a space station and zero-g combat.
