While we're going to enjoy Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 in the coming months, they won't be the only two games Infinity Ward has to offer as the studio is indeed looking for new talent. for an unannounced open-world project. We take stock with you.
An open-world Call of Duty RPG approaching?
We know it only too well, but when a studio publishes one or more job offers, it's always the best way to get an idea of the direction the future project will take. And based on the posting of a vacancy at Infinity Ward, the developers appear to be changing course dramatically as they are reportedly looking for a narrative director to craft an open-world RPG .
Unfortunately, at the time of writing, said job posting has since been deleted, but that was of course without counting on our industry insiders who did not hesitate to capture some evidence.
So, according to this post shared by CharlieIntel , Infinity Ward 's next project should focus on a " narrative and cinematic experience in an open-world RPG ". With these words, we understand that the developers want the Call of Duty license to take a 180° turn and therefore change completely.
Also, according to the job posting, " story, characters, heritage, and world-building will be emphasized, as will new writers and quest designers ." Although it is not written in black and white that it is indeed a next Call of Duty title, doubt is still allowed and several ideas inevitably come to mind. Is this the famous zombie standalone that Treyarch is also working on? Or simply another completely new Call of Duty game, both in form and content? Anyway, we're going to have to wait a lot before discovering more about what's behind this open-world RPG...
See you in October for Modern Warfare 2
While waiting for any announcement on this new project, we remind you that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be released on October 28 on PC, Xbox consoles and PlayStation .
Through the latter, we will find Task Force 141 headed by Captain Price. If we have already had the right to gameplay images of its Campaign mode, we will have to wait a little longer before discovering the Multiplayer images this time.
