Activision confirmed that he is working on a new one Call of Duty, and that its release is scheduled for this 2021. Unlike usual, no further details have been added to this information. No video has been shown on the matter, nor has anyone been told who is dealing with it, but the company still said it will release more details in the coming months.
For several years, Activision had been implementing a well-oiled development cycle that saw the annual alternation between the development teams of Infinity Ward and Trewarch in the realization of the COD titles. However, with the addition of the third study Sledgehammer Games, everything went a bit confusing, especially with the further involvement of Raven Software, who has occasionally contributed together with other studies in the realization of the titles released in recent years.
An example was the realization of the Call of Duty of 2020, which should have been made by Sledgehammer Games, but that after some diatribes had with Raven Software, the studio to which it was joined, the title has undergone several changes. In all of this Activision was cornered by Treyarch, his own studio, to see the release of the new title a year ahead of schedule. For this reason, the COD in question was modified to be a Black Ops, in which Treyarch worked to create the multiplayer and zombie section, with Raven Software on the other side creating the game campaign instead. Activision managed to meet delivery times, releasing the game in 2020 and, despite the glitches and the pandemic, the game proved to be a success as always.
This chaos occurred between the development teams in the making of the recent Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, confused the predictions a bit on who will be in charge of the project for COD 2021. Activision, during the call on their official website, confirmed the development of the game but did not release further details. Currently it is not even known if the next title will be a new generation exclusive, that is for PlayStation 5 e Xbox Series X / S or if there is a version also for old-gen.
Since the beginning of the year there are rumors of the possibility of seeing the return of Sledgehammer Games working on the title for 2021, information obtained from Tom Henderson, famous leaker of Call of Duty, and actually it would seem to be the most eligible team for this new title, after his retirement from the realization of COD 2020. Activision has promised further details in the coming months, so we just have to wait to know a little something in more on the development of the next game.
