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

Rolls-Royce Yay! Time to wait for a another sh*tty COD: Ghosts 2 to come out! Trying to get to Battlefield standards now Activision, eh?


your joking right, CoD has always been better the battlefield


Call of duty is bigger than battlefield I do not understand why your slagging it off.

EA is a way bigger company. Their game development is so much more complex than **** Call of Duty's broke games.


if we are talking about companies i think that 2 now 3 companies make up the call of duty franchise now


lol i do hope your not implying ea are a good company, one of the worst in the games industry
hey now... lets not forget the awesome job done with BF4... its not like EA had to stop development for some games like ME2, too try and fix the mess that BF4 has.


EA has a lot more on their plate than any Call of Duty dev, that's for sure.


But ea likes to rush game devs just like they made Dice rush on bf4 but i still think its better then ghost


No EA tell devs that they do not have 10 years to make a game. Also BF4 was not rushed...

This is a great idea on their part. Sledgehammer is great at making games and MW3 was actually a decent game. I hate Ghosts it is terrible.

This is the right move, the more creativity, the better. As much as people trash on this game, its not going to fade anytime soon

Katsumi Hopefully this will lead to better call of duty games being released, i am really hoping that i can enjoy the franchise once more and not just get frustrated and bored of it


Just to make sure I'm understanding this, there is for sure going to be atleast 3 more CoD titles?

Falafel Do you guys know that an extra year could mean ALOT. Instead of rushing and having a poo Call of Duty, I think there will be major improvements!


I completely agree. CoD was good to begin with but now is going to be amazing
