Rumors on Call of Duty 2025: Trouble in Development?
The rumors from Tom Henderson don’t stop at the open world turn of Call of Duty Black Ops, with the insider revealing further details on the projects underway at Activision. The new information concerns Call of Duty 2025, which seems to be in troubled waters.
According to Henderson’s report through Insider Gaming, Call of Duty 2025, theoretically 20 months from launch, still does not have a principal developer assigned. The initial plans involved Sledgehammer Games taking the lead on the project, the creators of Call of Duty WWII, Vanguard, and Modern Warfare 3. However, it appears that after only 16 months of MW3 development, the studio refused to become a “support studio for the second year” (in this case referring to Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2).
TROUBLE AT SLEDGEHAMMER GAMES
It is possible that High Moon Studios was in the running to take on the development of the game, which would have made it the fourth studio ever to create a Call of Duty installment. Despite this, according to Henderson, the final choice will fall on Treyarch, destined to play an even more important role in the future of the series. The insider also added that Infinity Ward is already developing Call of Duty 2026 and Sledgehammer Games has recently been given the green light to develop Call of Duty 2027, as previously reported in earlier leaks.
DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES AND UNCERTAINTY
The uncertainty surrounding the development of Call of Duty 2025 raises concerns about the future of the franchise. With the principal developer still undetermined at this late stage, it’s unclear how the game’s development will progress. The shift of responsibility from Sledgehammer Games to Treyarch further emphasizes the challenges and complications in the development process.
IMPACT ON GAMERS AND THE INDUSTRY
The lack of a clear development plan for Call of Duty 2025 could have significant ramifications for both gamers and the industry. If the game’s development is delayed or disrupted, it could impact the release schedule for future installments of the popular franchise. Additionally, it could also affect the perception of the Call of Duty series, casting a shadow of uncertainty over its future releases.
ACTIVISION’S RESPONSE
In response to the rumors and speculation surrounding Call of Duty 2025, Activision has remained tight-lipped about the situation. The lack of official announcements or clarification from the company has only fueled further speculation and concern among fans and industry insiders. It remains to be seen how Activision will address the reported challenges in the development of the highly anticipated game.
CONCLUSION
The latest rumors concerning Call of Duty 2025 highlight the challenges and uncertainties that can arise in the development process of a major Video game title. With the principal developer still undetermined and the future of the franchise hanging in the balance, all eyes are on Activision to see how they will navigate through these obstacles and deliver a successful and compelling new installment in the Call of Duty series. As the situation continues to develop, fans and industry observers will be eagerly anticipating any official updates from the company.
