Sledgehammer Studio, Developer of Call of Duty Series, Opens New Branch and Teases Massive Project on the Horizon
Sledgehammer Studio, developer of the Call of Duty series, opens a new branch
As we previously mentioned earlier this year, Sledgehammer Games, which has brought us several editions of the Call of Duty series, has been facing difficulties in recent months after a number of developers, led by Mr. Glen Schofield, one of the founders of the team along with Michael Condrey, left the team, with those being the first ones to start the team until it reached its international fame, if we may say so.
Through details that have been previously mentioned, it has been revealed that this studio is indeed facing challenges to the extent that rumors surfaced indicating that the upcoming installment of the Call of Duty series, which it has been working on for a long time, is in trouble and requires intervention from Activision to rescue the project by assigning it to the development team at Treyarch, based on rumors that surfaced several months ago.
What further confirmed this new development is the step the team took today when it decided to open a new studio in Melbourne, Australia with the goal of collaborating with the original team on their upcoming project. This confirms that something is happening behind the scenes on the part of Activision, as it is highly likely that they are working with this team on a new game.
It is possible that the large project the company is aiming for is to compensate for the Destiny series, from which they withdrew after collaborating with Bungie, but after the failure of the second installment, it became clear that Activision is seeking other avenues and this may start with the Sledgehammer Games studio, which is likely currently working on a different project while the Call of Duty series will be handled by both the Treyarch and Infinity Ward teams, according to rumors that have surfaced recently. Best regards.
