Another year, another CoD game….

This time is Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, which was just announced by Activision, along with the trailer above.

What we should know about it?

Well, it’s a Call of Duty game, it will be released a week before Dishonored 2, on November 4, 2011 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. And it takes place in space.

It also features new weapons and a campaign focused on Captain Reyes, a Tier 1 Special Operations who is a pilot. Additional details were provided by Dave Stohl of Infinity Ward:

“With Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, we are taking Call of Duty to places fans have never experienced in the series. On one hand, this game is the kind of gritty, boots on the ground, visceral war story that Call of Duty is known for. On the other, its future setting takes players on a journey of epic scale and proportions, providing incredible gameplay innovations and new experiences for our fans. This is a grand scale, old-school, all-out war in an epic new-school setting. And it’s going to be a hell of a lot of fun.”

The Zombies mode was also confirmed as well as the editions that will be available for purchase.

For $79.99, you get the Legacy Edition and Digital Legacy Edition which includes Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered.

For $99.99, you get the Digital Deluxe Edition, which includes Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare,Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered and the Season Pass.

For $119.99, you get the Legacy Pro Edition, which includes Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare,Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, the Season Pass, the collectible steelbook, the official game soundtrack and digital items.

So, Activision remastered Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, while EA and DICE offer all Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline DLCs for free before announcing their next installment.

And all these in less than one week. What do you think? Good marketing strategy or desperate attempts to get players back?
