Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Campaign Details Revealed
During a livestream today, Activision detailed the setting and campaign of its upcoming Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
"The world is dependent on resources from outposts around the solar system," narrative director Taylor Kurosaki said during the stream. The game's antagonists, the Settlement Defense Force, are a "brutal, fascist group" whose aim is to take control of the solar system's resources.
The goal of the SDF is "to hold the countries of earth in a stranglehold."
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's setting allows Infinity Ward to "take the player to places they've never been before" in the Call of Duty franchise. The space setting means dog fighting, zero-gravity fighting, as well as the "boots on the ground" combat the franchise is known for.
