Update: A new post on NeoGAF shows an entry in the PlayStation Store for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, apropos given the developer. Activision is keeping mum at the moment, but things are getting curiouser and curiouser.
Original Story: The timing is about right for a new Call of Duty game, and as if on cue, an image has shown up that says that an announcement for the next game in the franchise should be unveiled next week.
The image, which was tweeted by internet personality Jim Sterling (via NeoGAF), supposedly shows a retail sheet planning in-store displays. In this case the new Call of Duty game will replace old Star Fox Zero displays, and should happen next Tuesday, May 3.
While this could indeed be accurate, this is far from a certainty. There is no branding on the sheet to show the retailer, the misspelling of the word "reveal," and don't most retailers know in advance what the game is so the materials can be posted in the store on time? Granted, we don't even know when this was dated, but it is sketchy enough to keep us from calling it a slam dunk certainty.
That said, Activision has been pretty regular with its Call of Duty reveals. Black Ops 3 was incredibly successful after being hinted at last April. And Activision has also said that the new Call of Duty would be coming this holiday season from developer Infinity Ward instead of Treyarch, which means a reveal will probably come before E3 so the hype can begin. Rumors have the game having a sci-fi space theme instead of the traditional land-based battles.
So, draw your own conclusions. Maybe Activision will surprise us and announce something before next Tuesday,
