Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare shows infantry combat in space

War has moved into the solar system.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is set in space, after Earth expands into the solar system.

The presentation should go over well with a community of 40 million monthly active users excited about the next installments in the annual franchise, which has generated more than $15 billion over the past decade.
