Call of Duty is set to return with Call of Duty: Black Ops but Activision is already looking to the future…literally. The game giant has gobbled up a new bunch of Call of Duty domain names including Future Warfare. Are we set to see sequels to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 rocketing into space?
Superannuation, the blog that first spotted the Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood domain, has dived into Activision’s recent registrations and revealed some interesting additions.
While there’s been upheaval at Modern Warfare 2 developer Infinity Ward, Activision is clearly setting up for the future by grabbing “Call of Duty: Future Warfare”, “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare”, “Call of Duty: Secret Warfare” and “Call of Duty: Space Warfare”. It’s also snapped up variants with “2” and “3” added.
We know that Sledgehammer Games is working on a Call of Duty game that Activision says will “extend the franchise into the action-adventure genre”. Perhaps one of this new clutch of Call of Duty names will end up pinned to that. It’s possible that Activision won’t use any of them and is making sure no one else can either.
Call of Duty: Black Ops is taking us back to the Cold War. Would you be up for a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 follow-up that went in the other direction and ditched the present day for the far-off future? Or is that just a step too far?
