Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Free Updates And Features Detailed
The release of the emblem editor has been pushed back by a few weeks.
We know plenty of paid DLC is on the way, and Infinity Ward has now shared new details on some of the free new content and features coming to Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare in the near future.
As part of its February community update, Infinity Ward revealed that it will have some new customization options out before the end of the month. Specifically, you'll be able to rotate your rig a full 360 degrees, letting you better see how it looks. The post-game Winner's Circle will also be changed so that your rig is carrying the last weapon you used in the match, so as to let you better show off your customized setup.
Infinite Warfare's emblem editor had been previously scheduled to also launch by the end of the month, but that's no longer the case. Additional testing is now needed, with a new tentative release date of mid-March.
Infinity Ward also promised it plans to introduce "new content on a regular basis to keep gameplay fresh," though it didn't offer any specifics. "Be sure to visit the Quartermaster regularly to see what new items your robot friend has to offer," it added.
Also on the way, but without any specific launch window, is a new mission team that offers its new equipment and gear. Prestige levels will be increased, and we'll see "some new new features for scorestreaks, the Quartermaster, and more, such as a community poll giving you a say in picking the upcoming weeklong, featured game mode."
Infinite Warfare has proven to be a huge seller--it was the top-selling game in the US last year, and Call of Duty was the top-selling console franchise. However, the game saw a steep decline as compared with the previous year's Black Ops III and failed to meet publisher Activision's expectations. The company recently admitted the futuristic setting didn't "resonate" with a portion of the Call of Duty audience. It hopes that won't be the case again with this year's game, which is described as going back to the franchise's "roots."
