Call of Duty 8 – First (Tiny) Details Revealed

[shane]

 

Sledgehammer Games is currently at work on Call Of Duty 8, which is due to arrive next year. And a Twitter post from a studio exec has teased the very first details of what we can expect.

 

Studio co-founder Glen Schofield has leaked that the next Call of Duty game will feature situations encountered by real military soldiers – or at least inspired by them.

 

“Working w/ military guys- their stories will blow you away. Names/locations will change but some situations going in the game- real stuff!” he Tweeted today.

Sledgehammer Games is headed up by ex-Visceral Games employees Schofield and Michael Condrey, who left EA’s Dead Space team to work on CoD titles for Activision.

 

And Schofield’s CoD-based Tweeting today referenced his past glories, too:

 

He added: ‘Picking composers 4 the game. Fun stuff, think we found a great fit. Audio will b better than what we did on Dead Space.’

 

A bold claim indeed.

 

Sledgehammer’s Call Of Duty game will be an ‘adventure FPS’ spin-off from the CoD series – and shouldn’t affect the arrival of Infinity Ward’s ‘proper’ next entry in the franchise in 2011.

 

Some have rumoured that the Sledgehammer’s Dead Space heritage may mean it’s tackling CoD: Space Warfare.

Hmm. I didn't know those guys were on board for the next CoD. That's interesting. I loved Dead Space, but it's unclear if they will do a good job in this genre. Dead Space was a totally different style shooter, but in it's own awesome way.

They're working on a totally separate CoD, Infinity Ward is working on MW3. 2 CoD's next year.

Good grief Charlie Brown...I assume both are releasing in the fall too? Also why is the franchise getting a 3rd developer in the fold? Treyarch and IW were doing just fine lol.
