Sledgehammer Games not developing Call of Duty: Ghosts

4.4
The California-based studio, Sledgehammer Games, will no longer be working with Infinity Ward to produce the Call of Duty franchise, according to a recent Tweet by the company. Although the Activision team, which was founded in 2009 by a few of the creators of the Dead Space franchise, did much of the heavy lifting on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Sledgehammer will no longer bear the burden of co-developing the largest entertainment franchise out there.

This news comes from Twitter, where at this point, most of the hot scoops originate. Not long after the first teaser trailer for the next-generation Call of Duty: Ghosts was unveiled to the public, Sledgehammer went out of its way to both congratulate Infinity Ward and make known that its own team had no involvement this time around.

"Congrats to @InfinityWard on #CODGhosts!" tweeted the studio. "Our team is heads down on our next project, but best wishes to the hardworking team at IW!"

What does that mean for Sledgehammer? Previously, the company was rumored to be working on the first third-person Call of Duty title, but its move to work on Modern Warfare 3 cancelled that project. It’s unknown whether or not they will be developing a second CoD title alongside Ghosts, or a new IP altogether.

Instead of looking forward to unannounced games, though, let’s get excited for the world premiere of Call of Duty: Ghosts, which will take place during the May 21, 2013 Xbox briefing. The game itself is expected to be out in November.

Ero Oh and guys, The Infinity Ward that`s making this game is not the same as the people who made Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2. They mostly quit are got fired after Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2. Then they went to form their own game company and are currently working on a new game tittle.


hey, someone who actually knows what there talking about on this website. anyway, yes they formed respawn entertainment which i can't wait to see what they do. sad that west left respawn and retired though.


OMG someone that actually knows what they're on a bout on this website! Incorrect. Infinity Ward is the same as the old, minus a few guys here and there. That's it.


The ones that stayed were the janitors. lol

Mck Hopefully this game has things that the previous cods don't or maybe even throw some things in from the original cods ?


I'm hoping they throw in some stuff from older COD's
