Footage from a scrapped Call of Duty game has surfaced online, revealing in development gameplay of its single player and multiplayer offering. The project was reportedly meant to take the Call of Duty: Ghosts slot in 2013 and would have been the franchise's first entry set in the future before it was cancelled. The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater studio Neversoft was producing the game.
In the two videos published on the internet, a series of single player missions can be seen and then two minutes of video showcases a level on the moon. You can catch that below, and the multiplayer clip is through the link.
Despite the cancellation, the Call of Duty series would eventually take a step into the future and space with PS4 game Infinite Warfare. A list of maps that was planned for "Future Warfare" has also leaked, which reveals old Modern Warfare 2 maps were meant to come back much, much earlier than last year's instalment. The list included Afghan, Terminal, and Overgrown.
Would you have played such a Call of Duty game back in 2013? Let us know in the comments below.

Interesting. I always get somewhat sad with cancelled games. I always want to see the finished ideas, even when they are bad
@AFCC
I honestly wish COD had continued with this space/scifi approach. Infinite Warfare was unironically one of my favorite campaigns and there is plenty of directions you could go with the premise in future installments.
Wow it looked pretty polished considering it never came out. I wonder why they canceled it. Also Neversoft was working on it? I can imagine it could have been really good.
Wow that looked like it would have been fun, can’t say the same about my time spent with Ghosts
i freakin love the UI and how it looks like classic games again (even the button inputs have color!)
this has me thinking that the multiplayer would’ve been more arcade like the good CODs again with small to medium sized maps . shame it got cancelled but i rather a remaster of the ps3 games anyway
@PegasusActual93 Infinite Warfare was actually one of the better campaigns in recent years. I'd rank it up their with Modern Warfare (2019),WWII, and Black Ops Cold War as the best since Black Ops 1.
Pedant here! Technically Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was set in the future.
I'd have really like to play this. I'm guilty of saying they should have got out of the future but looking back, I got a lot more out of Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare than I did out of Modern Warfare 2 (2022).
@PegasusActual93 Completely agree - Infinite Warfare had my favorite campaign in the entire CoD series. Basically felt like the military perspective of the Expanse universe. Also, multiplayer felt like splitting the difference between a typical CoD and Titanfall. I really hope that Infinity Ward's next game is IW2.
Now I want to play it.
