In light of the big reveal of the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the developers have switched off the lights. The game’s social media channels are black and dark. Does this indicate a reboot of the series?
What has happened to Call of Duty? Anyone who visited the Call of Duty Instagram account since May 28, 2019, would see only black. Because at least on Instagram, all images have been temporarily removed. They must have done a thorough cleanup.
Even the logo of the channel – and also on the other social media accounts like Twitter or Facebook, there is now a simple black background with the plain words “Call of Duty” in front. Otherwise, there is only darkness on the channel.
A hint at a reboot of the series?
What could be behind the action of the CoD developers? Traditionally, a new Call of Duty is released every year, and in May they are often teased for the first time. However, we know almost nothing about the new Call of Duty.
It is known that it will probably only be called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Not to be confused with the numbered titles that also had that designation.
The simple look fits with the assumption that the developers want to focus again on the origins of the series. Because after the hated sci-fi CoD “Infinite Warfare”, they wanted to return to the roots of the series. That’s why CoD was set in World War II again in 2017.
With the minimalist design and the cleaned-up social media accounts, the developers may be signaling that the new CoD will be a classic Call of Duty, without frills and fluff, but with good old shooter action in the CoD flair.
What is your opinion on the actions of the Call of Duty creators? A good hint at the new direction of the series? Or do you want to finally see something tangible about the new game?
At least the new CoD game is supposed to shock and come across controversially.
