Since the new Call of Duty: Ghosts was first revealed, the marketing department at Activision and Infinity Ward has used the mask of Simon Riley as a symbol of the game, but fans need to understand that its appearance is simple fan service, according to the developers.

NeoGAF cites sources from the studio as saying that they have eliminated all the ties with the Modern Warfare universe and that the mask of Ghost is only designed to show that the core elements of the experience are similar.

The new Call of Duty is designed to focus on new types of gameplay and will pit a special force of human soldiers against an unknown entity that has managed to cripple the United States.

The game will be out on November 5 on the PC and current-gen consoles and also has versions for the Xbox One and PS4.
