Sledgehammer Confirmed as Developer on New Call of Duty For 2011
Activision has announced their plans to expand the Call of Duty brand following today's hullabaloo surrounding the publisher's dismissal of Infinity Ward studio leads Jason West and Vince Zampella, who have now been confirmed as no longer being with the company.
A new game in the Call of Duty series will be released some time in 2011 and will be handled by newly formed Activision studio Sledgehammer Games, lead by Dead Space veterans Glen A. Schofield and Michael Condrey.
While Infinity Ward continue working on downloadable map packs for Modern Warfare 2, Treyarch - the studio behind World at War - will stillrelease their Call of Duty game this autumn.
Beyond the two CoD titles currently confirmed, Activision also announced their plans to look at new genres for the franchise as well as branching out into the Asian market with the lucrative series.
Quite where this leaves Infinity Ward is unknown however and their future involvement in the franchise that has brought both companies such massive success, is currently up for speculation.
[Update:] Just thought we'd update you somewhat on this front. The Sledgehammer Games title according to the press release will be an "action-adventure" game. So expect 2 Call of Duty titles in 2011... that's if the events of today with Infinity Ward haven't changed the state of play there. After the sales of Modern Warfare 2 last year though, we doubt that very much.

This is a bad direction for the series is going. I don't know if the next COD series will be better without the direction of Vince Zampella and Jason West (studio heads of IW).
EDIT: Sa mga hindi nakakaalam, Infinity Ward was created because there was a fallout internally "2015 Inc." and EA.
2015 Inc. is the one made Medal of Honor successful. 22 employees of 2015 Inc. started Infinity Ward. So this is really bad for Infinity Ward for there is a possibility of history repeating itself.
Anyway whoever picks up Zampella and West will be lucky. They will have a really good FPS developers. Sana Sony makakuha
