Call of Duty is a once-a-year franchise, meaning you need a lot of different ideas to make sure the series can keep up. With multiple main and support development teams, Activision has managed to have a new game release every year since 2005, and that’s no small feat. And yet, most of the games have consisted of two core series, Modern Warfare and Black Ops, and that’s especially true in recent years. Microsoft has now confirmed that Black Ops 6 is this year’s entry, and while plenty will be excited, it’s a reminder that Call of Duty is in desperate need of a shake-up, a new setting and idea to breath new life into the franchise. To get there, Activision and Xbox should look no further than the most underrated entry — Infinite Warfare.
