It has been revealed that Paramount and Activision's upcoming video game adaptation "Call of Duty" will be set in the popular "Modern Warfare" universe. The film is directed by Peter Berg ("Lone Survivor", "Deepwater Horizon") from a script co-written by Berg and Taylor Sheridan ("Yellowstone", "Landman").
The "Call of Duty" movie will be released in theaters on June 30, 2028, just in time for the 25th anniversary of the video game franchise, which debuted in 2003. Sheridan, Berg and David Glasser of 101 Studios are also producing.
"Call of Duty" is one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time, with more than 500 million copies sold worldwide. The games initially started out as World War II first-person shooters before completely rebranding the franchise with the 2007 game "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" by setting it in contemporary times. At the time, it completely revolutionized the genre, and became the top-selling game worldwide, with around seven million copies sold by January 2008 and almost sixteen million by November 2013. Today, the franchise includes more than 30 mainline games.
Sheridan's deal also includes the potential for Paramount to expand the "Call of Duty" universe across film and television.
