According to two different sources, the next game in the Call of Duty series will be based around a "far future" setting, with the series apparently going "full on sci-fi".
The reports come from Shinobi602 on NeoGaf, a source with a proven track record, and Eurogamer are also suggesting that they too have heard similar things in regards to Infinity Ward's next entry in Activision's shooter series.
The reports say that this year we will get "space combat between warring sci-fi groups in the far flung future", a significant departure for the series if true.
We'll keep our ear close to the ground on this one, and will update you as soon as we hear more.
