Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is an upcoming first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity Ward. Leaked advertisements for the game were initially found in late April 2016, days prior to the official trailer, which was unveiled on May 2nd, 2016. The game is set to be released on November 4th, 2016.

Plot
Infinite Warfare takes place in a future where Earth's resources have nearly been depleted, forcing governments and businesses to seek them elsewhere in the solar system. While the major powers of the world squabble over control, space trade and travel are governed by the UNSA. At the start of the game, the starship fleets of the world have gathered in Geneva for the annual Fleet Week Parade, a peace initiative sponsered by the Solar Associated Treaty Organization. The event is cut short after a surprise attack by the Settlement Defense Front, a group of off-world insurgents bent on controlling the solar system. A sleeper cell hijacks Earth's planetary defense system and turns it on the parade, annihilating the majority of the UNSA fleet instantly. Simultaniously, a ground attack is made to take out the world's leaders and other attendees.

Players take control of Lieutenant Nick Reyes, who, after repelling the ground attack, is given command of Retribution.

Gameplay
The campaign is divided between core story missions which are progressed through linearly, as well as optional side missions. These missions provide weapons and assets, while also serving as a means to flesh out supporting characters. Three distinct modes of combat feature, and a player may encounter all three within the same mission. The first is standard infantry combat, which composes the bulk of gameplay. The other two are vehicular space combat, and "on foot" zero gravity combat.

The game will not feature co-op play in its campaign, but it will feature a Zombies mode as the co-op gameplay mode.
