Sledgehammer Games has posted a job listing which suggests it is working on the next installment of the CoD franchise.
The advert (on Gamasutra) is for a Community Manager for what Sledgehammer refers to as “the next Call of Duty game”.
Although Sledgehammer was known to be working on a Call of Duty game, the developer of the next CoD title has not yet been officially confirmed by Activision, and Raven Software was also reported to be working on its own entry in the series. However, today’s job listing, in conjunction with rumours that Raven has resumed development of its shelved Bond game, provides the strongest evidence yet that Sledgehammer will be at the helm of the next CoD release.
Although little has been revealed about the direction Sledgehammer intends to take with the series, industry chatter suggests that the next game may feature a futuristic aesthetic, with the ‘near-future’ conceit of previous entries abandoned in favour of a space combat theme. Sledgehammer was founded by key members of the original Dead Space team, so perhaps the rumours aren't as far-fetched as they sound. Nazi Zombies in space anyone?
