Cryptic 'Call of Duty' teaser turns RoboCop into a terrorist.
We can't confirm that Mr. Bald Terrorist Man in the above video is actually Peter Weller, the star of RoboCop, but it sure does look like him.
The video surfaced on the official Call of Duty Instagram feed, further fueling the excitement that's built up around rumors of the game's 2016 release, which is said to be titled Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. The video post also turned out to be part of a larger Instagram collage, spread over nine separate posts.
The same skull image flashes in every now and then during the teaser. The video bears the title "Know Your Enemy" and — based on what possibly-but-not-definitely-Peter Weller says — it introduces the next Call of Duty's new villain.
"You will know loss. We will be the architects of your pain, we will build monuments to your destruction. The whole world will bear witness to this, our ascension," possibly-Weller says before revealing himself to be a member of something called the "Settlement Defense Front."
The teaser surfaced on Saturday, one day after a sudden and unexpected transformation occurred in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, the series' 2015 release.
Some kind of massive airship — or, possibly, space ship — appears in the sky at the end of multiplayer matches in the game's "Nuketown" map. If you watch the visual glitches in the Saturday teaser carefully, you can see brief flashes of the same Nuketown scene.
Rumors over the past few months have suggested that the new Call of Duty ventures more confidently into outer space warfare than previous games in the series. We don't know anything concrete about the game yet, but that thing certainly looks like it could get along just fine outside of Earth's atmosphere.
Whatever the truth is, expect to find out soon. It's clear that Activision is spooling up the Call of Duty hype machine for some kind of reveal, and the growing list of teases suggests it's happening very soon.
