‘Call of Duty Infinite Warfare’ dev talks Story focus, ‘COD Black Ops 3’ Black Market gets content hits

Infinity Ward will be changing up “Call of Duty Infinite Warfare” in many ways—as seen in the focus of space rather than a traditional battleground. However, the developer also assured fans that it will still have the identity of the franchise.

Speaking to Gamingbolt, the developer showed exactly just how it planned to do that. Infinity Ward’s Brian Horton touched on the story of the newest installment, which he says will be the heart that contains the essence of the franchise.

“Our focus was to try and tell a character-driven story of a band of brothers; so Lt, Reyes is surrounded by a cast of fully fleshed out squad mates of which make up the fighting force that has to defeat this settlement defense front,” said Horton to Gamingbolt.

According to Horton, the characters will be the main player’s support. As AIs and as a way to progress through the narrative. They will even supposedly have a big role in the story mode for “Call of Duty Infinite Warfare.”
