Activision: Call of Duty still going strong, Sledgehammer entry will broaden the franchise's audience

If all the legal drama between Respawn's founders and Activision won't let the former keep them from making games, the same holds true for the latter as well. Activision has reiterated that the Call of Duty franchise is still continuing, with three different studios hard at work on pushing the franchise forward.

Activision COO Thomas Tippl recently laid out their plans for the franchise in an interview with the LA Times. Infinity Ward will still play a large part along with Treyarch and newcomer Sledgehammer Games.

"Today, we have three studios working on Call of Duty," said Tippl. "We have Infinity Ward, which made Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

"Then we have Treyarch, which will be releasing a Call of Duty game in the fall of 2010. Treyarch also developed Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty 3.

"And, most recently, we've added Sledgehammer in the Bay Area. We haven't yet announced the content of their game, but it's going to be an innovative take that will further broaden the audience for Call of Duty."

Activision has billed Sledgehammer's Call of Duty entry as an "action adventure" game before. There's still no official word on who will handle next year's entry, although it has been reported that it won't be Sledgehammer.

Guitar hero its developed by Neversoft which is owned by Activision
Rock Band is Developed by Harmonix Which is owned by MTV Games and pubished by EA

Harmonix made gh1 and 2 but then red octane(owers of gh franchise)was bought by Activision and Harmonix was bought by MTV games so lol your facts are wrong

Has a lot to prove so hopefully they can come up with a new FPS series, and i'm betting EA wants to show they better than Activision and maybe give them even more creative freedom.

# RE: Activision: Call of Duty still going strong, Sledgehammer entry will broaden the franchise's audience — Guest 2010-04-19 19:16

I don't know about you guys but I am incredibly stoked for Call of Duty: Prostreet Epic FPS Collection 2011 Extreme Multi-Mayhem Edition: The Return

You know that's gonna be SO CASH.

# Hell yea — Guest 2010-04-19 19:45

Of course I'm excited about the upcoming Nazi zombie mode in cod7

# hmmm — astaroth001 2010-04-19 20:06

"Then we have Treyarch, which will be releasing Call of Duty 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 in the fall of 2010."

That's what they should've said

# RE: Activision: Call of Duty still going strong, Sledgehammer entry will broaden the franchise's audience — Guest 2010-04-20 00:14

We all know, we all want another "modern-style" COD... The WWII games have been completed, and like they always say, "you can't change the past". So "history-style" games wont contain any new weapons. So please... Keep the modern-style coming if you want to keep newer things keeping people interested.

# ... — Bullet.Two.Head 2010-04-20 01:47

The only way I'm going to buy a Call of Duty game made by Treyarch is if they make a game where it ends off with the fall of Hitler... I hate how they keep making so many WWII games.

# MW2 stinks — Guest 2010-04-20 05:23

This has turned into a kids game plain and simple...all hardcore players will be looking for something better in the future. Epic fail the moment that EVERONE did not play that game. They could not get people to stop playing cod4 and WaW because MW2 sucks. EPIC FAIL

# Activition is now crap — Guest 2010-04-20 07:40

great.... now all cod games will be shit...

without the original IW team... Modern Warfare 3 is gonna look like viva pinata

# Activition = gay — Guest 2010-04-20 07:43

were gonna see MW3 in a few years a really watered down version of the MW series.... like someone pissed on it several times lol

# Treyarch in 2010? — Guest 2010-04-20 08:16

Hm, I'm seriously hoping that Treyarch pops out a MW2 for Wii, they already said they would consider it if MW1 was successful enough and I loved it.

# RE: Activision: Call of Duty still going strong, Sledgehammer entry will broaden the franchise's audience — Elric 2010-04-20 12:13

I want a COD:MW series game for the PSP! :(

# New Game Title Is — Guest 2010-04-20 14:58

A futuristic Call of Duty to cater to all those sci-fi shooter (halo fans)It will be called something like Call Of Duty: Rise of the Machines.

# RE: Activision: Call of Duty still going strong, Sledgehammer entry will broaden the franchise's audience — Coco Davis 2010-04-20 22:32

I CALL BULLSHIT!!!

# cod mw2 — Guest 2010-04-21 08:04

the game is beastly they goin strong

# i think a change is needed — Guest 2010-04-21 12:50

cod is too repetitive each game is similar to the last. activision is turning into ea by releasing the games more frequently and ramping up prices for a similar game. we need a revamp
