The first details on the next Call of Duty have been revealed, courtesy of the newest issue of gamesTM. Officially titled Call of Duty: World at War, the Treyarch-developed title is shaping up to have a darker tone to it, as the magazine article states that “Right, apparently it’s going to be grittier, as gritty as ANY game out there to quote. The enemy will be scarier and use new tactics.”
“Also, this is how gritty it is: ‘The opening scene of the first level we are shown is a Japanese commander stubbing a cigarette out in the eye of a prisoner before slitting his throat - the blood splatters and dribbles down the side of the tent you are being held in. He turns towards you to deal out the same treatment but help arrives just in time. Cue a daring level-long escape.’”
The game will also have co-op, which is a first for the series, along with vehicles and squad-based elements added to the multiplayer section.
World at War will, as was confirmed months ago, again be set in World War II and come to a multitiude of platforms including the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Wii, and PSP. Furthermore, the Wii version is said to be running on the Call of Duty 4 engine and will support the Wii Zapper.
