10 Potential Plot Twists That Could Ruin Upcoming Video Games

9. The Campaign Turns Sci-Fi Halfway Through - Call Of Duty: WWII

The Twist: Mid-way through the new Call of Duty's gritty World War II-based campaign mode, the player will gain access to anachronistic high-tech weaponry in order to take the Axis forces down.

Why It Could Ruin The Game: On the surface, Call of Duty: WWII appears to be a direct reaction to those players who lost interest in the series' more recent diversions into ridiculous sci-fi territory, which is a million miles away from its far more grounded origins.

To essentially bait-and-switch players with the promise of a realistic, down-to-Earth war story only to introduce the usual silliness later on would be a tremendous troll at best, and straight-up false advertising at worst.

How Likely Is It?: The PR nightmare surely wouldn't be worth any potential financial gain here, so it looks like the sci-fi nonsense will take a back seat for this year at least. 3/10
