Call of Duty: Eclipse Warfare is an FPS horror action game set within the Eclipse Universe, and developed by Morningwood Studios, Tachibana Games and Nakamura Interactive, and published by Morningwood Arts. The game runs on Semblance 3.0, a modified Semblance engine.
The Campaign follows the first few years of the Human-Alien Conflict and focuses on a group of protagonists with each Act. The Extinction follows the Eclipse Army's discovery of an unknown alien species on an unknown planet found in an unknown system. Zombies follows an Eclipse Army soldier, a Shock Trooper Guard, a Nakamurian Federal soldier, and a mercenary as they fend off Infected created from an experiment.
Writers GreedySelfish, known for the Soul of the Machine zombies story, and ZombieHunter115, known as the lead developer and writer of the popular Call of Duty: Undead Warfare, agreed to write the Zombies and Extinction portions of the game, alongside Anakin Nakamura who will be writing the Campaign and assisting the Extinction storyline. Writer and developer RoachTheIntelCollector also joined the project later in development and contributed to the Zombies mode, who is also known for Undead Warfare.
Post-launch expansions have been confirmed by Morningwood Arts that will include new maps for both the Zombies and Extinction portions, furthering expanding the universe in Greedy, ZombieHunter and Roach's way, however these remain canon in the Eclipse Universe's Legends continuity. In addition to Zombies and Extinction maps, there will also be new Campaign missions added in with expansions, further exploring the Human-Alien Conflict. Expansions are available as content updates rather than being paid DLC.

Story[]
In order to better combat and match the Opposition, Earth's Governing and Military bodies collaborate with the Galactic Council and the scientists of the Eclipse Medical and Health Services begin work on a series of "Super Soldier Experiments" to help fight off the alien threats. A group of soldiers from Earth's branch of the Alliance Forces attend to witness one of these experiments at a top secret military outpost that also serves as a laboratory. The scientists inject a special serum into a soldier that becomes a Human-Madrelerorn hybrid and begins to react hostile towards the scientists and soldiers in the facility. He breaks out and begins to either kill or infect almost everyone in the facility. One soldier survives and meets up with a Shock Trooper Guard who was stationed at the base as well as a member of the Nakamurian Criminal Federation and a mysterious mercenary of unknown affiliation. They must survive and fight off this new breed of infected while also hatching their own escape plan.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Morningwood Studios, lead development studio of the game, released an image that pointed towards the game's very first rough title was just Eclipse at War. Reasons as to why this was changed due to the plot and it being a Call of Duty game.
- The expansion, Eclipse Warfare: Eclipse Strikes Back is a reference to the 1980 film, Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back.
- Fans of Morningwood Arts expressed that with the Eclipse Universe's Human-Alien Conflict, a "multiplayer would've been a very good addition to the game", however in an official Tweet from Morningwood Arts' Twitter account stated that Multiplayer wasn't the main focus with this game, and that since the game was received positively, the second game would feature a multiplayer mode.
