Sledgehammer Games kündigte jetzt an, dass man das geplante Third-Person-Spiel wohl einstellen wird. Dennoch will man weiter an der Call of Duty-Reihe mitarbeiten.
Sledgehammer Games, der Co-Entwickler von Modern Warfare 3 neben Infinity Ward, wird jetzt warscheinlich das geplante Action-Adventure im Call of Duty-Universum canceln. Der Entwickler hatte vor MW3 schon angefangen an dem Spiel zu arbeiten, wurde dann aber von Activision gefragt, ob das Studio Infinity Ward beim aktuellen Shooter helfen will.
“We'll probably cancel it,” sagte Glen Schofield in einem Interview. “They gave us the choice of: do you want to work on Modern Warfare 3, or do you want to continue working on this? And we really liked that. We liked what we were doing. It third person, probably set at a time that might have niched it too much. I bet that if we had kept going, within a month or two I probably would have switched the time period, but kept the gameplay. It had some really cool stuff.”
Ob Sledgehammer Games nach dem Release von MW3 weiter an dem Third-Peron Action-Spiel arbeiten wird oder nicht, ist noch unklar. Laut Schofield will man aber weiter an der CoD-Reihe mitarbeiten. “This game has allowed both Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games to hire, and we hired really strong teams, both of us. We needed to come together on this one, but since then we’ve both grown, we’re both over 100 people now. Initially we weren’t fully functional because we had to learn a new engine. Now we have. I think the best thing that could happen for Activision would be for us to both go off and make our own game. Whether that's a Call of Duty game or not is up in the air. I plan to continue working on Call of Duty.”
