Call of Duty: Ghosts announced; next-gen powered by new engine

by Xav de Matos  on May 1st 2013 1:00PM

Confirming rumors, Activision has revealed the next game in its billion-dollar shooter franchise, titled Call of Duty: Ghosts. The military-based FPS will arrive on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on November 5, and on "next-generation platforms" on an unspecified date. No Wii U version was announced.
 A press release reveals the next-gen version of Ghosts will sport an all-new engine "from the developer that started it all, Infinity Ward." The series has been using the same engine, with numerous annual modifications, since 2005
 Saying it would have been "safe" for Infinity Ward to develop a fourth entry in the Modern Warfare series, Mark Rubin, executive producer of developer Infinity Ward, noted his team saw the next generation of consoles as the "perfect opportunity" to start a new chapter for the franchise. "So we're building a new sub-brand, a new engine, and a lot of new ideas and experiences for our players," he added.

Activision will debut the next-gen version of Call of Duty: Ghosts – and revealing its new engine to the world – during Microsoft's upcoming Xbox 'Next Generation' event on May 21.

Ghosts features an "all-new gameplay experience built on an entirely new story, setting and cast of characters," the press release further detailed.

An onslaught of additional info and explosion-filled marketing is expected closer to E3 2013.

Update: The website theghostsarereal.com – designed to look like an official Activision site – lists Wii U as a platform for the next Call of Duty title. Activision tells Joystiq the website is not owned or operated by the publisher. No Wii U version has been announced.

Wii U = NGP


     
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.

Of course, and let's just not talk about power. The Wii was way powerless and yet had a respectable COD.

I said it in the other thread and i'll say it again. Yes it will get Ghost. Activision seems to be pretty supportive with Nintendo and Call of Duty was always ported to the Wii whcih was a significant down-grade. WiiU is more powerful than the X360/PS3 and they are getting Ghost so this is a no brainer. Yes WiiU will get Ghost.

Yup. You can say whatever you want about Activision, but they've supported Nintendo like no one else.

WiiU got Black Ops 2 instead of the Wii.  As you were saying?

A port of the first Modern Warfare in 2009, two years after it was released in PS3/360, made by Treyarch instead of Infinity Ward, instead of Modern Warfare 2 (released in 2009 for PS3/360).

As you can see no CoD was released in 2007 on the Wii. Those who wanted to play CoD had to buy a PS3 or a 360.

They still got CoD4 in the end and since then they have released every CoD on a nintendo console including the most recend BO2 on the WiiU.  I dont see where you are going with this.  Do you?

Jesus Christ why are so many people so dumb.

Yes, it will be on Wii U when they announce the dates / plans for the rest of next-gen consoles. The specifically stated that already.
