Sledgehammer Games is currently at work on Call Of Duty 8, which is due to arrive next year. And a Twitter post from a studio exec has teased the very first details of what we can expect.

Studio co-founder Glen Schofield has leaked that the next Call of Duty game will feature situations encountered by real military soldiers - or at least inspired by them.

"Working w/ military guys- their stories will blow you away. Names/locations will change but some situations going in the game- real stuff!" he Tweeted today.




Sledgehammer Games is headed up by ex-Visceral Games employees Schofield and Michael Condrey, who left EA's Dead Space team to work on CoD titles for Activision.

And Schofield's CoD-based Tweeting today referenced his past glories, too:

He added: 'Picking composers 4 the game. Fun stuff, think we found a great fit. Audio will b better than what we did on Dead Space.'

A bold claim indeed.

Sledgehammer's Call Of Duty game will be an 'adventure FPS' spin-off from the CoD series - and shouldn't affect the arrival of Infinity Ward's 'proper' next entry in the franchise in 2011.

Some have rumoured that the Sledgehammer's Dead Space heritage may mean it's tackling CoD: Space Warfare.

Treyarch is set to release Call of Duty: Black Ops in November, they recently described the game as 'classic Call of Duty'.
