It looks like Call of Duty Warzone has a sandbox mode on the way, with a recent leak coming from CoD community member ZestyCODleaks.

A new Alien game has been announced, titled Aliens: Fireteam. The game looks to be a co-operative title where you defend a spaceship from Aliens, who are pretty mean up close.
