Call of Duty remains one of the biggest gaming franchises in the world - and the latest instalment in the series has now been officially confirmed.
Titled Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, the first-person shooter will be released on November 4.
Developed by Infinity Ward - the team behind the acclaimed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series - the game looks to be set in space, but promises a ‘return to the roots of the franchise where large-scale war and cinematic, immersive military storytelling take center stage’.
The California-based studio has some work to do after their last entry, 2013's Call of Duty: Ghosts received a mixed response from critics and players.

It also looks like Call of Duty will once again be going head-to-head with rival shooter Battlefield, with a new title in that series expected to be announced on Friday.
