Ubisoft hasn’t yet revealed too many official details on Assassin’s Creed Codename Red (including a final title), the next mainline series in the company’s flagship franchise, though new information on the title continues to emerge through leaks. A new report published by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has shed further light on the game.
Rumour: Call of Duty Games Will Feature Open World Campaigns Starting This Year | Push Square

Word on the street is that future Call of Duty games will expand their single-player offerings with open world campaigns. The first of these will be this year's entry, which is supposedly Black Ops Gulf War.
That's according to Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson, who has heard from sources that the open world-style missions in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be built upon for subsequent releases. Gulf War will apparently be the first game built with this structure in mind.
Henderson likens the open world gameplay to be similar to Far Cry; you'll be able to utilise vehicles to get around, and even use a fast travel system to move around the maps. His sources also told him that some linear missions will be included, although didn't say how many. The campaign for this year's game is apparently being handled by Raven Software, with Treyarch developing multiplayer and Zombies.
Those same sources have also claimed that there are plans for more Call of Duty games in the future to feature open world campaigns. 2025's entry is said to be adopting this structure for its single-player, too.
We suppose the move makes sense considering those open missions in 2023's MW3. However, this is just one report, so we'll have to wait and see how this year's game shapes up to see if Henderson's claims are right.

Didn't people hate that?
@Voltan literally, it's baffling to see them double down and waste time on something so hated
@Voltan people did and rightfully so… This feels like the death of a franchise move. The only reason I ever bought CoD was for the super polished campaign and the well designed mp maps… Open world is the wrong direction
Strange choice after the reception of MW3...
That's one way to kill Call of Duty off. Meanwhile lets get Infinity Ward to make Duty of Call which isn't promised to all platforms. /jk
@Mintie @Professor_Niggle Yeah. I haven't played the latest CoD but as far as I'm concerned, the series' highlights have always been the multiplayer and the campaign that felt like a super tight action movie.
This sounds like a bad idea.
Obviously this would've been in advanced stages of development before they had a chance to see people's reactions but it doesn't sound like they think it's a mistake.
@Korgon keep in mind mw3 was developed in a year using resources it had. Blogs 6 has been in development for 4 years. You can't just back track that
