Press F for aCall of Duty: Advanced Warfaresequel
Considering the series has been around for a few decades at this point,Call of Dutyhas had to reinvent itself over and over to keep bringing players fresh concepts. The games have covered concepts from the first World War all the way to futuristic space combat, and some were received better than others, to say the least. Now that the series has started cycling back through classicCoDeras like World War II and the modern day, I guess I should have realized that the franchise would be returning to some of their other, less beloved concepts too.
As of areportfrom known (and often right)Call of Dutyleaker Ralph Valve, Sledgehammer’s upcoming 2025CoDtitle will be a sequel toCall of Duty: Advanced Warfare, which was originally released back in 2014. Valve also reports that Sledgehammer’s next game was supposed to be a follow-up to the World War II-themedVanguard, which didn’t end up selling enough copies to warrant a sequel in its wake.
Advanced Warfareis certainly well-known, although a lot of that has to do with the now infamous “press F to pay respects” sequence. The gameplay allowed for increased mobility in gameplay thanks to the introduction of Exoskeleton armor, and fans seemed to like it enough before the series went fully futuristic with the near universally-dislikedCall of Duty: Infinite Warfarethat came out in 2016.
Although I have three differentCoDtitles under my belt now, I’m still getting to know the series, especially when it comes to the games with modern or futuristic settings. I guess if Valve’s report is correct, then it’s worth me going back to play some of the old games just to get a sense. From what I hear, though, I will definitely be steering clear ofCall of Duty: Ghosts.
