Activision is currently developing a brand new Call of Duty subfranchise, signaling a potential shift away from the established Modern Warfare and Black Ops series. Chief Marketing Officer Tyler Bahl confirmed this development in an interview with The Game Business, emphasizing that the company aims to prioritize innovation over relying on legacy titles.
Bahl stated that audience feedback indicates a strong desire for new and different experiences as the gaming landscape evolves. While specific details regarding the project remain unconfirmed, industry speculation suggests Sledgehammer Games may be leading the development for a release next year. This move follows the conclusion of the current Modern Warfare narrative arc.
Unverified rumors from leaker TheGhostofHope suggest the upcoming title might incorporate martial arts mechanics, potentially blending gunplay with close-quarters combat. Such features would mark a significant departure for the series, which has previously experimented with movement-based innovations like the exosuits introduced in Sledgehammer's Advanced Warfare.
Sledgehammer Games has a history of attempting to innovate, including an early, cancelled third-person project set during the Vietnam War. Whether the studio can successfully deliver a fresh experience that resonates with the player base remains uncertain, though the project marks the first non-Modern Warfare or Black Ops entry in over five years.
