Sledgehammer Games No Longer Assisting Infinity Ward, Not Developing Call of Duty: Ghosts

May 2, 2013 by Josiah Renaudin

The co-developer of Modern Warfare 3 has moved on to other things.

The California-based studio, Sledgehammer Games, will no longer be working with Infinity Ward to produce the Call of Duty franchise, according to a recent Tweet by the company. Although the Activision team, which was founded in 2009 by a few of the creators of the Dead Space franchise, did much of the heavy lifting on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Sledgehammer will no longer bear the burden of co-developing the largest entertainment franchise out there.

This news comes from Tweeter, where at this point, most of the hot scoops originate. Not long after the first teaser trailer for the next-generation Call of Duty: Ghosts was unveiled to the public, Sledgehammer went out of its way to both congratulate Infinity Ward and make known that its own team had no involvement this time around.

"Congrats to @InfinityWard on #CODGhosts!" tweeted the studio. "Our team is heads down on our next project, but best wishes to the hardworking team at IW!"

What does that mean for Sledgehammer? Previously, the company was rumored to be working on the first third-person Call of Duty title, but its move to work on Modern Warfare 3 cancelled that project. It’s unknown whether or not they will be developing a second CoD title alongside Ghosts, or a new IP altogether.

Instead of looking forward to unannounced games, though, let’s get excited for the world premiere of Call of Duty: Ghosts, which will take place during the May 21, 2013 Xbox briefing. The game itself is expected to be out in November.
