Call of Duty 2019 looking more like Modern Warfare 4 than ever
A NEW Call of Duty game is coming, and it's going to be revealed at some time in the next few weeks.
It is being developed by Infinity Ward, the studio behind the original CoD games, and all signs point to the new game being Modern Warfare 4.
That is more true than ever today, with news that FIVE former Infinity Ward developers with connections to the Modern Warfare flavour of CoD are all now back at the studio.
As reported , the returnees are no small fry either.
The are animation director Mark Grigsby, game designer Alex Roycewicz, multiplayer design director Geoff Smith, studio art director Joel Emslie and Infinity Ward co-founder Zied Rieke.
Between them they had helped define significant parts of what made those games so great, from some of the game's most popular maps to fan favourite characters and items and even weapons and attacks.
We've known Infinity Ward is developing the next Call of Duty game for some time because Activision has three studios working on Call of Duty at any one time, with each taking turns to produce games in the franchise on a three-year cycle.
2017 saw Sledgehammer's Call of Duty: WWII, 2018 saw Treyarch's Black Ops 4 -- and so 2019 will bring us Infinity Ward's next offering.
A full reveal seems likely to happen before June 11, when Infinity Ward developers at Los Angeles' annual gaming extravaganza E3 to discuss "the next Call of Duty game".
Solid rumours emerged that Infinity Ward's 2019 game was Modern Warfare 4, and all the signs since then have pointed in the same direction.
The first 'official' tease has come by way of several young American football stars, who were invited to play the game in Nashville.
They didn't reveal much else about it -- the most descriptive was the Adoree' Jackson of Nashville's own Tennesee Titans, who just said "it's 🔥."
Those sentiments were by team-mate Cameron Batson, who was also at the event.

We don't know much about the game except that it will have a significant single-player campaign, it won't feature a battle royale mode, and looks set to ditch the specialists system in favour of a more flexible itemisation system.
In the mean time, Call of Duty: Mobile is on the way, and fans will soon be able to enjoy the remastered version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's single player campaign.
