Call of Duty now on three year development cycle

3.9
Activision has released that it will be moving the CoD series to a three year development cycle instead of two.

While this still means a new CoD entry each year it *should* allow much more time for the respective devs to fully develop their CoD. One would imagine their hope in this strategy change is to foster more innovation while allowing further care of previously released games in the form of better crafted DLC.


"Sledgehammer is a triple-A studio built from the ground-up around prudent talent with a 90-plus-rated pedigree both in studio leadership and throughout the organization.

They demonstrated their skill on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and on their past high-rated games. They're the perfect choice to support our new approach and bring fresh ideas and creativity to this great franchise, and to raise the bar for next-gen games overall.


-Activision Publishing president and CEO Eric Hirshberg

I'm really curious how this will affect the games. I can only imagine what they'll be able to do with an extra year.

I think they should just stop making CoD now.
The game has ran its course.

Unnecessary sequels is all I'm seeing.

R3vo I hated MW3 & Cod Ghost was terrible. The franchise will never receive another dime from me. I will not fall into peer pressure again. Call of Duty started dieing after CoD:WAW


Modern Warfare 2 was my favorite of them all.

And Black Ops 1 wasn't bad.

Also, it's DYING, not dieing.

Seems good i guess but CoD will always be the same :/

More time to develop is a great thing but waiting 2 years for zombies after they release a new one will be hard
