Call of Duty: Ghosts was mentioned by YouTube user Drift0r on March 21, having received his information from sources familiar with the series. Today, his rumor seems to have come true as a variety of online retailers inadvertently let slip the box art, release date, and a few details about the new Call of Duty title in development.
The above boxart is a leak from TESCO. An advertisement for Target's May 5-11 period includes information about a special where you can pre-order Call of Duty: Ghosts for $1 and save $10 on any current game priced $49.99 (USD) or higher.
This Target ad also notes a November 5, 2013 release date for Ghosts.
Some of the unconfirmed details are as follows:
- Call of Duty: Ghosts. Activision toyed with Call of Duty: Phantoms, but settled on Ghosts.
- Steering away from "Modern Warfare" to start its own thing, though is still kinda Modern Warfare 4.
- Set in the future, kind of like Black Ops, but with current generation weaponry. Some plot event forces people of that time period to use our generation weapons.
- Dynamic loading screens, as in the traditional loading countdown is replaced with some kind of animated sequence (rappel in from chopper, sneak in, etc).
- Movement changes. Dash->slide+shooting. Corner peeking. Prone left/right roll.
- Spec Ops gone, replaced with new mode.
- Team aiming for more destructive environments. Working in single player, but team is having some issues with implementing it in multiplayer.
