While we announced a reduction in annual releases on the Call of Duty side, it seems that the Vanguard studio is already at work, for a release after the 3-4 projects planned until 2023.
While Call of Duty Vanguard is not the best opus of the license and qu’Activision-Blizzard would rather be in a logic of increasing the waiting time between episodes to stop the annual releaseSledgehammer Games is already developing a new title in the series according to journalist Tom Henderson.
On his site exputethe latter indicates that he has obtained confirmation from his sources that a new Call of Duty was already in production. If Modern Warfare 2 has already been confirmed for 2022, there should be no title in 2023, or maybe a free-to-play in addition to Warzone 2. According to the insider, a project Call of Duty Zombies could fit in this window.
As for Sledgehammerthe name of the studio may seem strange when you know that most observers were already announcing the death or almost of the team following takeover by Microsoft and the failure of Call of Duty Vanguard. As a reminder, screenwriter Sam Maggs revealed at the end of 2021 that she had the material to develop a “Vanguard trilogy”. On the company’s LinkedIn profile, the numbers are on the rise at the moment, which suggests that they certainly haven’t said their last word.
