When Call of Duty: Ghosts released in 2013, it was the very first video game to launch on a brand-new generation of consoles — the PS4 and Xbox One. Packed with the brand-new video game was a 3rd video game mode referred to as Extinction — an alien-themed co-op experience. It was called Infinity Ward’s response to the Treyarch’s popular Zombies mode. Unfortunately, Call of Duty: Ghosts was the last we saw of Extinction, however according to designers that might have been various.
Why Extinction 2 wasn’t consisted of in qCall of Duty: Infinite Warfare
Lee Ross, who was associate job director at Infinity Ward for Infinite Warfare Zombies, required to Twitter to speak about his model of zombies having the “BEST Super EE” the franchise has actually ever seen. This was available in action to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s blended reception to its current very easter egg upgrade.
In a thread with previous associate Brian Bright (job director at Infinity Ward), Ross verified a 2.0 variation of the mode remained in the model phase. He stated:
“Extinction 2 would have been AMAZING! That prototype we built had so much promise!”
Bright verified this and likewise stated the proposed 2nd model of Extinction would consist of base structure comparable to a real-time method (RTS). The designer stated a choosing aspect why Extinction 2.0 never ever saw the light of day was due to the fact that of the video game it was expected to be consisted of in. Infinity Ward was “nervous” about taking Call of Duty into area with Infinite Warfare, according to Bright, and didn’t desire aliens to be included.
Yep the video is cool. Base structure infant! A little RTS mechanics in the mix

Despite lots of fans curious about what Extinction might have appeared like in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, it would have implied popular maps such as Zombies in Spaceland would not have actually concerned fulfillment. For lots of, Zombies in Infinite Warfare was a hit in a video game where the expose trailer was at one phase the second-most disliked video on YouTube.
To be reasonable, if we made Extinction 2 there would not have actually been IW Zombies. The studio fidgeted about taking COD to area and didnt desire “aliens” in it, despite the fact that the cryptids were not aliens.
