Last few years for the studio Sledgehammer games stood out not too productive. In 2018, the development team lost two founders and veterans, Michael Condry and Glen Schofieldwho first took senior executive positions in Activision Blizzard, and later completely left the company.
After a while, the network circled the information according to which Sledgehammer Games was to be responsible for the new release of the series. Call of dutywhich will be released this fall. But here everything went according to a different scenario, the main production force for a fresh shooter was assigned Studio Treyarch, and the original developers act as a support team.
Given all this, some might have suggested that Sledgehammer games serious problems. But if you believe the actual interview with the team leader Andy wilson, the situation is completely opposite – the studio is developing, gaining new specialists and plans to work on several projects at once.
“We are happy about the chosen course and are going to move exclusively forward. Since I joined Sledgehammer Games, I have been spending all my strength to provide the team with the future. So, inside the studio we organized the Second Decade initiative, which launched in our tenth birthday The essence of the idea is that instead of celebrating exclusively past achievements, we decided that Sledgehammer Games has a new era.
We are entering a period of development, and all our central offices will expand. Now we are a company that works on several projects at once, and soon a significant number of new specialists of various positions and with different work experience will join us. If today we are a little more than 200, then over the next year we will accept about 100 more colleagues, “said Andy Wilson.
About what to do “new“ Sledgehammer games, now we can only guess. It is possible that this particular team Activision will charge creation Call of Duty 2023, or the studio will actively support Call of duty: warzone. The latest developments of Sledgehammer today are Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Call of Duty: WW2.
