A plan for an origin campaign is underway at Infinity Ward, fleshing out the story behind the masked enigma, Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley – giving some base to the characters’ more low-key, superficial appearance. .

Prior to the release of Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward’s narrative team expressed some interest in the idea and entertained the possibility of an offshoot campaign centered around one of Call of Duty’s most cemented characters.

Now, fresh off the launch of Modern Warfare 2, plans are reportedly in progress for building out and conceptually bringing this story to life.

An associate explicitly revealed that throughout development the team had approached Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley’s actor, Samuel Roukin, with the notion of further developing his character beyond the boxed release.

Whether this spin-off develops into Modern Warfare 2’s alleged premium expansion for 2023 remains a mystery – We reached out for comment on whether this was being considered, though I’ve yet to confirm any suggestive response. .

The character, Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley quickly gained some virality hot off the release of Modern Warfare 2.

In conversation with an associate, Modern Warfare 2’s sophomore DLC expansion will expand the Campaign’s story with an intimate, episodic look behind Call of Duty’s more established characters, factions, and new blood.
