All Articles: Call of Duty: Ghosts

The official Call of Duty website has a new landing page courtesy of publisher Activision that will likely lead to a Call of Duty 10 reveal very soon.

The page features a ghostly mosaic created using the Twitter and Facebook profile pictures of people who’ve talked about Call of Duty in the last few hours. Previous rumors have targeted May 1st for this year’s Call of Duty debut announcement.

Hmm… a ghostly mosaic… that couldn’t be a hint that Call of Duty: Ghosts is real, now could it?

Last year, Activision pulled back the curtain on Call of Duty: Black Ops II on May 1. If a similar plan is in place for this Fall’s Call of Duty 10, that means we’re less than 48 hours away from an announcement.

But a group of European retailers may have jumped the gun a might early.

Over the weekend, a number of retailers posted (and then subsequently pulled) pages for something known as Call of Duty: Ghosts. According to the retailer postings, the game will be developed by Infinity Ward and it’s in development for the PC, PS3, Wii U, and Xbox 360. It is also expected to launch on November 11, but that’s not much of a surprise as the Call of Duty franchise has owned the second week of November for years now.

A product description at Tesco revealed that Call of Duty: Ghosts may be using a brand-new engine and breaking away from the Modern Warfare storyline:

The franchise that has defined a generation of gaming is set to raise the bar once again with the all-new Call of Duty: Ghosts. Published by Activision and developed by Infinity Ward, the studio that created the original Call of Duty and the seminal Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series, Call of Duty: Ghosts ushers in the next generation of the franchise, delivering a riveting all-new gameplay experience built on an entirely new story, setting and cast, all powered by a new next-generation Call of Duty engine.

Are you sitting down? You might want to sit down. Activision has announced something shocking at their quarterly financial conference.

A new Call of Duty game is in the works and will be released this Fall.

OK, that’s not very shocking. But Activision did announce Call of Duty 10 yesterday. That part’s true, however, we don’t know much about it at this point. Even the developer is a mystery. While 2013 is an “Infinity Ward year,” Activision has confirmed that Neversoft, Raven, and Sledgehammer are all working on Call of Duty-related projects. But here’s everything we know for sure, courtesy of Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg:

“The Call of Duty franchise continues to set the bar for innovation and we expect the new Call of Duty game in development for 2013 to raise that bar even higher.”

Even with that tiniest speck of confirmation, I will hazard a guess that Call of Duty 10 will be released for the PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U sometime this November.
