Ghosts also features an alternative co-operative shooter mode titled Extinction, acting as a spiritual successor to the Zombies co-operative PvE gamemodes introduced to the franchise in Call of Duty: World at War. Ghosts inherits much of the core gameplay and structure of previous titles, with a mission-based campaign and an open-ended multiplayer, but introduces a near-future setting to the series as well as an increased focus on tactical gameplay, including the addition of new 'Squads' modes and orbital strike superweapons to the multiplayer.
The game acts as a standalone installment in the wider Call of Duty franchise in lieu of the World War II, Black Ops and Modern Warfare series that preceded it. The game was released with the launch of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It was released for PlayStation 3, Wii U, Windows, and Xbox 360, on November 5, 2013. It is the tenth major installment in the Call of Duty series and the sixth developed by Infinity Ward.
Call of Duty: Ghosts is a 2013 first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision.
