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

CoD will become irrelevant in the FPS market soon. In 2016 or 17 the only people playing CoD will be the kids who recently got into to it. The rest of us will be gone this year or next.

daRealRush This brings more hope for CoD, especially seeing how 2 cycles isn't very long. So now, we all have 3 cycles instead of 2...


Totally agree with you man, I can't wait to see what they will have in-store for us.

MW3 was not one of my favorite, but it was still a solid game.

I cant wait to see what they can do.

Ibrahmovic This mean that there not going to be yearly if so still gonna be Sh!t


I don't think you understood this.. The developers have usually had two years for each call of duty, now they will have three, but a call of duty game will still be released yearly.

Still yearly.

Treyarch/IW/Sledgehammer each dev gets three years now.
