Get exclusive insights into the future of the Call of Duty franchise as an industry insider unveils the leading studio for the highly anticipated Call of Duty 2027. Join the discussion and dive into the exciting world of FPS gaming as enthusiasts speculate what the landscape will look like in the upcoming years. Don’t miss out on this fascinating glimpse into the future of one of the most popular gaming franchises as we explore the possibilities of the FPS genre in the near future.
An insider revealed that Call of Duty's 2027 entry will be developed by Sledgehammer Games. Following the studio's reportedly rushed development of Modern Warfare 3, it will hopefully have ample time to create its next Call of Duty.
A Bloomberg report claimed that Sledgehammer's Modern Warfare 3 was developed in just 16 months, which seemed to be a plausible claim following its lackluster single-player mode and its multiplayer largely consisting of recycled maps. However, these claims were denied when a Sledgehammer executive stated that the studio spent years developing Modern Warfare 3. Whatever the reality is, it seems that Sledgehammer will be given multiple years to develop its next Call of Duty.
Insider Gaming reported that Sledgehammer employees were informed during a town hall meeting that the studio would be leading development for Call of Duty 2027. No other details were given about the future game, as fans began to speculate about what approach Sledgehammer might take. Sledgehammer developed 2014's Advanced Warfare, the first Call of Duty to introduce jetpack movement to the series, a feature that hasn't been seen in Call of Duty since 2016's Infinite Warfare. Although the movement system is somewhat controversial, its potential reintroduction could come at the perfect time.
Rumored Call of Duty Games Coming in the Future
Leaks indicate that Call of Duty 2024 will be set in the early 1990s, Call of Duty 2025 will be a Black Ops 2 sequel, and Call of Duty 2026 will be an Infinity Ward title, which might choose to remain in its wildly popular Modern Warfare setting. These premises would all seem to suggest boots-on-the-ground movement, causing some fans to wonder if Sledgehammer's 2027 entry could shake things up with a return to jetpack movement. However, this is just speculation at this point.
