Call of Duty: Ghosts is an upcoming first-person shooter video game to be the tenth installment in the Call of Duty series, and the sixth developed by Infinity Ward. The game is to be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 5, 2013.[3]
Ghosts will also be available on the next-generation of game consoles, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, at a later date.[4][5] The game may also be coming to the Wii U[6][7][8][9], but that particular version's release is still unclear.[10]Call of Duty: Ghosts takes place following a catastrophic event that changed the global balance of powers in the world. As a result, the United States is no longer recognized as a superpower. Ten years after the event, an unseen enemy emerges as a threat, but the remnants of US special forces from every branch came together to create an elite group of soldiers known as the "Ghosts", who are determined to eradicate all threats to protect the weak and the remains of America.
On February 7, 2013, Activision confirmed that a new Call of Duty game was in development and would be released Q4, 2013. The publisher expects poorer performance than previous entry Call of Duty: Black Ops II on 7th generation consoles (Xbox 360 and PS3) due to the transition to next-generation consoles.[11]
The series starts a new subseries with Ghosts to coincide with the launch of eighth generation consoles entering the market. The game will debut an engine built by the developer, originally described as a new engine, but later clarified to be the same engine as used in previous games with "significant" upgrades.[12][13]
Reveal
On April 29, 2013, the official Call of Duty website was updated with a social media mosaic that filled up every time a user logged into the site via Twitter or Facebook. The next day, the mosaic was completed and the picture showed a skull along the text "the Ghosts are real."[14][15] Some details about Ghosts leaked prior, especially when Tesco pulled the listing of the game for the PlayStation 3 after it was put up accidentally.[16] Several other retailers, including Target, listed it for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.[2][17][18] The live-action teaser trailer for Ghosts, titled "Masked Warriors", features glimpses of people wearing historical battle attire, among them one of a group of soldiers putting on the skull mask shown on the box art. It was released on May 1, 2013. Ghosts appeared at the "Xbox Reveal" event on May 21, 2013.[19]| Developer(s) | Infinity Ward |
