A lot of rhetoric around Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare over the last few months has centered around the fact that, in spite of how much of a departure it may seem to be from previous games in the series, it will ultimately still give fans the same Call of Duty experience that they know and love.
But you can still channel the spirit of something without being basically a carbon copy of that thing- and Infinity Ward’s Brian Horton emphasized to GamingBolt in an exclusive interview that Infinite Warfare will end up providing players a kind of experience that is totally new to the Call of Duty series, noting that the space setting is the perfect opportunity to incorporate all new mechanics.
“We looked at the three year investment we had as an opportunity we had to innovate and space seemed like a really rich place for new mechanics and give the player an all-new experience that they haven’t had before in Call of Duty,” Horton said, when asked about what prompted Infinity Ward to look at space as the setting for Infinite Warfare.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is going to launch this November for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
