Infinite Warfare video sheds new light on Call of Duty campaign

Activision has released a new video describing the single-player campaign for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, the latest installment in the annual blockbuster series that has generated more than $15 billion in sales in the past 13 years.

This year’s title from Activision’s Infinity Ward studio has taken more risks with its story than ever (like casting face-punching factory Conor McGregor), thanks to the sci-fi setting where humanity has populated the solar system. The problem is that the extraterrestrial colonies are feeling slighted by Earth, and they’re rising in rebellion. They launch a sneak attack that takes out much of Earth’s defenses, and your mission as Captain Nick Reyes is to take the fight back to the the bad guys, the Settlement Defense Fund.
