It?s not much of a surprise that another Call of Duty is coming this year. After all, a good majority of the last decade?s best selling games were Call of Duty titles, sprinkled with a dash of Rockstar here and there. Activision isn?t going to pass up the opportunity to release another game in the franchise in 2020, and the publisher confirmed that on today?s financial call. Activision did not, however, make note of which developer is working on Call of Duty 2020, a curious omission given that the current year?s developer has always been mentioned in past years? calls.
Though this year is supposed to switch to Sledgehammer in the three-year development rotation, a Kotaku report last year says that development for Call of Duty 2020 was handed off to Treyarch, upsetting the cycle that?s been in place since Activision added Sledgehammer to the mix in 2014. Allegedly there was tension between Sledgehammer and Raven that left the whole project a mess, and Activision moved things over to Treyarch. That original Sledgehammer game was reportedly set in Vietnam during the Cold War. Though the game is now alleged to be Black Ops 5?or at least a fifth Black Ops title, if not titled with a 5? it seems that the ideas for a Cold War-era Call of Duty were salvaged from the wreckage of whatever Sledgehammer had been working on.
