Sledgehammer’s next Call of Duty has entered pre-production, but beyond that, not a lot is known about it. Based on past comments by those who worked on Vanguard, Henderson speculates it could be a sequel to that game, but given its poor reception, that seems sketchy. As for when Sledgehammer’s next Call of Duty might arrive, Henderson says it’s aiming for 2025. With a new game from Treyarch targeting 2024, it seems that Activision is looking to resume its regular annual CoD schedule following a planned skip year in 2023. Of course, 2023 won’t actually be without CoD product. In addition to CoD Warzone 2, Henderson says a standalone Zombies is experience is likely for 2023. Of course, as with all rumors, take this with a grain of salt for now. Haven’t tried out Sledgehammer Games’ latest? Wccftech’s Kai Powell found Call of Duty: Vanguard to be lacking in a lot of areas, but not totally without promise… California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) has filed suit against Activision Blizzard, alleging widespread gender-based discrimination and sexual harassment at the Call of Duty publisher. You can get more detail on that unfolding story here. What do you think? Should Sledgehammer be given another crack at CoD? Or is the writing already on the wall for 2025’s game?
