The image has Blacksmith in the name so...

We've known for a few months that Sledgehammer Games will be taking over the reins for this year's Call of Duty entry, and our next cover story features twelve pages of exclusive and extensive details. We visited the studio, spoke with co-founders Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey, and are ready to tell you everything we know.

To time the issue's release with the first trailer for the game, we will be releasing this issue three days early for our digital subscribers.

This Sunday at 12:00 PM Central time (10:00 AM Pacific) we will reveal the cover image and the first details on the game including the name, so please come back this weekend to see the cover and the game in action for the first time. We will release the digital issue shortly afterwards.

Idris?

Looks amazing too!

 

[bobawesome]

Looks impressive enough.

 

[McHuj]

Nice!

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

Is that a knight's helmet?

 

[AKyemeni]

World War I looks so good.

 

[Yoshichan]

Fuck me, that's impressive (for a CoD-game).

 

[Rikkun]

Nice cheeks.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Aww yea, this is the first time since mw1 that there's been a cod cover right?

 

[WJD]

Well that's definitely not WWI.

 

[jet1911]

Looks way better than I thought it would.

 

[JayEH]

Looks nice but... I'll wait and see.

Aww yea, this is the first time since mw1 that there's been a cod cover right?

Ghosts and BO had one

 

[grkazan12]

 

[belushy]

World War I looks so good.

Amazing

Looks good.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Come on current gen only.

 

[antitrop]

Exoskeleton suits are awesome.

 

[golem]

This looks way more interesting than the last few.. i want to know more!

 

[Xpliskin]

On par with Crysis 3

 

[The_Intruder]

 

[cw_sasuke]

Metal Gear vibe.

 

[donkey show]

Idris?

Looks amazing too!

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Looks like battle armor

 

[Jackbooted]

Exoskeletons eh? Parkour confirmed!

 

[witness]

That looks great. CoD future/sci fi

 

[harSon]

On par with Crysis 3

Reminds me of Crysis 3 in more ways than one

 

[kazebyaka]

Day one

 

[Jacobi]

THIS looks interesting to you? I feel I've seen shit like this a thousand times...

 

[Xater]

Judging by this screenshot I'd say it's a better looking game than Ghosts.

 

[SargerusBR]

Come on current gen only.

Keep dreaming. Activision will never leave that huge last gen install base behind.

 

[minty_jpg]

Dang, this is looking really good.

 

[ironcreed]

EDIT - Beaten, lol.

 

[Backfoggen]

Needs some subsurface scattering on that dude.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Boom.

 

[Dawg]

@Nirolak: maybe the guy in that picture is called Blacksmith (nickname)

 

[LiquidMetal14]

CoD will have to do more than improving visuals to gain any of my interest.

 

[WaffleTaco]

Well that's definitely not WWI.

It technically could be...that "rumor" mentioned time travel...Jesus Christ if that is true ill pre-order immediately.

 

[Mutanthands]

Future Marines! Bring on the Sci-Fi, we get enough geo-political shenanigans from the other two series.

 

[Astro Monster]

Took too long for this to appear.

 

[gofreak]

Hopefully next-gen only. Graphically it looks promising on that front.

I feel like when CoD goes next-gen only...that signals the transition is really accelerating.

 

[PachinkoChampBruh]

Is that a knight's helmet?

lol reminds me of an odst visor

 

[Nirolak]

Needs some subsurface scattering on that dude.

Yeah, I feel everything looks good except the skin shading. Looks a bit concrete.

 

[bombshell]

Come on current gen only.

I still can't believe Activision already abandoning last-gen. Guess we'll find out soon. Kudos to them if true.

 

[Nirolak]

Hopefully next-gen only. Graphically it looks promising on that front.

I feel like when CoD goes next-gen only...that signals the transition is really accelerating.

It's "next-gen first" according to Activision's last fiscal call, which implies 360/PS3 versions exist but are considered a secondary priority.

 

[Corto]

So this confirms next issue reveal is a zombie developed Fallout.

 

[JayEH]

I still can't believe Activision already abandoning last-gen. Guess we'll find out soon. Kudos to them if true.

They've already said its last gen too.

 

[Isurus]

Looks good, but I'm guessing it is a bullshot. We'll know soon enough I guess.

 

[Randdalf]

That's one big ass nose on that dude.

 

[Mrbob]

Come on current gen only.

Isn't this the rumor? The Sledgehammer CoD is built for the new systems, while last gen systems are getting a pared down version.

 

[Mendax]

could actually be the alternate reality WW1. I'm interested.

 

[Xater]

Hopefully next-gen only. Graphically it looks promising on that front.

I feel like when CoD goes next-gen only...that signals the transition is really accelerating.

I don't think it will be current gen only. If not even Destiny is COD isn't going to be either.
