Over the festive season, developer Sledgehammer Games Tweeted out a message that appears to hint at the potential setting of this year’s Call of Duty.
Published on New Year’s Day, the snippet features an old (steam?) engine that judders into life, before the dials turn to ‘2017’. Just as those numbers align, you’ll then hear an old-timey chime, which many believe to be the sound of London’s Big Ben. That’s just conjecture for now, as the next installment in Activision’s juggernaut series typically isn’t unveiled until May. It does, however, raise the question: Will Call of Duty 2017 take place in the 20th century?
It’s officially 2017! Some call it the zodiac year of the Hammer. Have a safe and fun New Year’s, everyone! #SHGholidays pic.twitter.com/24qlku6ITd
