Lost ‘Future Warfare’ Footage Appears, Canceled Call of Duty From Neversoft

There was a time when Activision itself said that absolutely all of its studios were doing something for Call of Duty, but beyond the trio we know (Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer and Treyarch), we didn’t know they were doing specifically another new title. . And this week, many of them were laid off in the fateful wave of 1,900 workers who left the distributor, among whom, it seems, were also some Neversoft veterans.

And precisely one of them shared on More precisely, a brand new Call of Duty which is apparently more futuristic than the unfortunate Infinite Warfare. The project is called NX1but in the attached images we can see that the name was “Future Warfare”.

The amount we don’t know about canceled video games would explain a lot about the current directions of many companies. To me, of course, this “Future Warfare” looked brutal, could Microsoft now salvage the idea somehow?
