Sledgehammer staffing up for 'next-gen Call of Duty game'

4.7
Studio seeking to fill positions across multiple disciplines for unannounced title

Sledgehammer Games is actively recruiting in a bid to strengthen the development team working on a next-gen Call of Duty game.

Earlier this week, parent company Activision posted more than ten Sledgehammer job adverts across a range of disciplines including art, design, animation and engineering. Multiple job ads note that the studio is "working on a next-gen Call of Duty game".

Formed in 2009, California-based Sledgehammer originally worked on an unfinished third person Call of Duty game before being drafted in to help Infinity Ward complete Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

While the nature of its new game remains a mystery, Sledgehammer general manager Glen Schofield told us in October 2011 that he thought the studio would work alone following its MW3 collaboration with Infinity Ward, the studio primarily responsible for 2013's Call of Duty: Ghosts.

"This game has allowed both Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games to hire, and we hired really strong teams, both of us," he said. "We needed to come together on this one, but since then we've both grown, we're both over 100 people now.

"Initially we weren't fully functional because we had to learn a new engine," Schofield added. "Now we have, I think the best thing that could happen for Activision would be for us to both go off and make our own game. Whether that's a Call of Duty game or not is up in the air. I plan to continue working on Call of Duty."

I see this being another mw3 considering Sledgehammer helped create that. Though, they could pull through, or fail again. The only company that I actually enjoy that make Call of Dutys are Treyarch, though they will probably fail with ideas too this/next year.

I was a hardcore Call of duty player back in COD4 and COD:WAW, since MW2 I played less and less until finally i didn't buy COD:Ghosts, It's even ridiculous the way they tried to copy treyarch's zombies in that shitty alien game mode.

zealandhd Oh my god. We don't want any new call of duty game.. We just want a complete remake of the old ones like Call of Duty: 4 and Modern warfare 2. they make new call of duties and the get less fans each year. please hate me if you must i'm just stating my opinion.


a call of duty classic game would be pretty sweet. like take the best maps from the cod4-co6 era and make a game out of that. but then you run into the prob of cod5 maps with modern day guns; meaning that assualt rifles can shoot across the map on cod5. maps were designed for close quarter combat

The cod series needs to die. I've finally moved on to BF4 and have never been happier!
