Sledgehammer Games is currently working on a follow-up to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare slated for 2025, a new report suggests. Reliable Call of Duty leaker Ralph Valve says that the studio is hoping to abandon the World War II setting of their recent work and return to the sci-fi setting that they left back in the mid-2010’s.
As an annual franchise, Call of Duty has tried a number of guises over the years, from its origins as a WWII shooter to the Cold War excesses of the Black Ops subseries. However, it was Call of Duty’s turn towards the future that garnered the most controversy from fans, particularly 2016’s Infinite Warfare, which featured space travel and other sci-fi conceits.
