Cancelled Call of Duty sci-fi game from Tony Hawk's studio Neversoft leaks online
29.01.2024 - 11:23 / eurogamer.net / Victoria Kennedy
Footage from a cancelled futuristic Call of Duty sci-fi game in development by Tony Hawk's studio Neversoft has leaked online.
The footage was spotted by Call of Duty insider account CharlieIntel, and seemingly comes from a cancelled Xbox 360-era Call of Duty game known as Future Warfare (or «NX1» internally). The game was originally in development at Neversoft, which was ultimately merged into Infinity Ward in 2014.
Confirming the footage as legitimate, former Neversoft developer Brian Bright said this cancelled Call of Duty release would have launched in place of Ghosts. «Neversoft pivoted from Guitar Hero to make a futuristic COD game,» Bright wrote on X. «I believe this would have been in place of Ghosts, trying to remember. We had two to three campaign missions, and a bunch of [multiplayer] work done (I was lead MP on this) before cancellation.»

Let's Play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 (2023) — THE (CAPTAIN) PRICE IS RIGHT!The footage itself was shared across several videos by YouTube account Riley54, which you can see via the embeds below. The first shows an overview of the missions menu, the gameplay difficulty levels and the start of a mission on the moon, aptly called «Moonbase Assault».
A second video then shows this particular mission in full, which all starts in rather dramatic fashion, with the space-based soldiers coming under fire. Many are killed in action, as the player character tries to make it to the airlock.
Then, the base the soldiers infiltrate starts to more or less steadily implode around the player, with many sucked out into the cold void of space as the mission continues. When the player is wearing a helmet, the UI shows the suit status.

Strategy game from hell Solium Infernum gets a week delay to February 22nd
League Of Geeks's remake of cult strategy game Solium Infernum is having its release date pushed back by a week, the studio have announced. It will now launch on February 22nd, instead of its original date of February 14th - which is a damn shame, if you ask me, as nothing screams "romantic Valentine's night-in" like trying to backstab your other half in a bid to rule hell in Satan's absence. Alas, we'll just have to make do with the altogether more pedestrian date of a regular Thursday in February, as the team need just a bit of extra time to ensure it's "as polished as possible" before release.
