This year’s Call of Duty game is being developed by Sledgehammer Games, which previously co-developed the huge Modern Warfare 3 with Infinity Ward. The very first image of their game has been published by IGN, showing a character model from the game.
The image was first shown as part of a presentation by the Sledgehammer at GDC 2014, and reveals very little about the next Call of Duty, as ‘soldiers are in it’ is not much of a surprise. What the image does show is the impressive level of detail we’ll see in this year’s game, the first to be genuinely ‘next-gen’.
Since Modern Warfare 3, the Call of Duty franchise has been struggling to stay innovative and interesting, and its game engine is looking increasingly creaky, although it continues to be massively popular with gamers. As EA’s Battlefield series is rumored to be moving to an annual release schedule, Activision will want to ensure the next Call of Duty really impresses.
