Speaking to Machinima, Treyarch game design director David Vonderhaar said that the idea of a Call of Duty set in the near-future would be “pretty fantastic.”

When asked about the possibility of such a game, Vinderhaar said “I think the answer is ‘yes’.”

“It would be kind of a unique opportunity but the way this works out is obviously more complicated than, ‘Hey, me and Treyarch are going to make a near-future shooter.’ It doesn’t work out that way in practice.

“It’s a tough question to answer. We have not announced any new Call of Duty games at this time but to answer his specific question I think, personally, it would be pretty fantastic to do near-future, you know? Not necessarily far-future.”

“For me personally. I’m just talking for myself.”
