Sledgehammer Games is currently hard at work on the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, teaming up with multiple studios to collaborate on what will likely be one of the biggest Call of Duty games of all time. Â Before beginning work on the upcoming first person shooter, Sledgehammer was said to be working on a new avenue for the Call of Duty franchise, a deviation into the action-adventure genre.
Now in the crunch time for the release of Modern Warfare 3, all of team is focused on the upcoming game. Â But following it’s release this November, the studio might be re-assigned to begin working on the new title. Â Activision’s Eric Hirshberg recently said in an interview that “Right Now Sledgehammer is 100% focused on Modern Warfare 3” “We haven’t announced the future slate or future plans for the studio. Â The were originally working on an extension of the Call of Duty franchise into an action/adventure genre and that’s a game I still wanna play.”
Nothing concrete, but at this point, it looks like Activision is at least keeping the door open to the possibility of an action-adventure style Call of Duty experience at an undetermined date in the future.
