According to
thisisxbox, an unconfirmed and unknown source --to us-- has informed the site that a
Call of Duty prequel is in the works. The website states right at the beginning that this source was the same place where they obtained Kinect's name,
Call of Duty: Black Ops' existence, and the first
Gears of War 3 images.
According to the source, Infinity Ward are working on a
Call of Duty prequel that will focus on Ghost from
Modern Warfare 2 by showing how he ended up joining Task Force 141 -- the source also says that these events will be based off of the comic book stories written by David Lapham. The game will also focus around the events leading up to the war in
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Players will re-visit key locations from
Call of Duty 4 and
Modern Warfare 2, but from a different point of view.
Of course, this is just a rumour. If we receive word from either Activision or Infinity Ward regarding this supposed sequel, we will update.
Something seems a bit off though. If Infinity Ward is involved, shouldn't the new
Call of Duty title be carrying on from where
Modern Warfare 2 left off? Could this prequel be the
Call of Duty project that Sledgehammer are currently developing? We'll just have to wait and see.
