Activision has announced that it will release another installment in their popular FPS franchise Call of Duty in fall of 2011. But it isn’t going to be an FPS.
Activision says it will release another Call of Duty game in 2011, handled by Sledgehammer Studios, a new in-house developer headed by Glen Schofield, the creator of Dead Space. The game is being dubbed an “action-adventure” game.
Sledgehammer Studios is made up of the former members of Visceral studios, which was originally EA Redwood Shores, the studio that made Dead Space. Redwood Shores than became Visceral, and the team was able to take their Third-Person shooter (Dead Space) and turn it into a well recieved FPS on-rails (Dead Space Extraction), so perhaps they can transform Call of Duty’s FPS setting and into a workable Third-Person adventure.
Let’s just hope this Call of Duty experiment sells better than the Dead Space one.
