Take this with a grain of salt for at present, merely the folks at Charlie Intel are seemingly signing off on this rumor, and Sledgehammer heading back to WWII would brand sense. CoD: WWII was fairly well-received, so why not become back to what you know? Likewise, if Sledgehammer goes back to the Big One, then each of Activision'south three CoD developers will have a distinct take on the franchise to focus on – Infinity Ward tin continue with Modernistic Warfare, Treyarch can do Black Ops, and Sledgehammer tin can focus on historical stuff. Sledgehammer trying to do their own futuristic or Vietnam-era thing (every bit has been rumored in the past) would dirty the waters.

Sledgehammer has been through somewhat of an upheaval in recent years, starting with the departure of co-founders Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey in 2018. That said, Activision has been edifice Sledgehammer support, with the goal of making it a multi-project studio. Hither's what new Sledgehammer boss Andy Wilson had to say back in 2020…

We're now a multi-project studio and we're looking for a substantial number of new team members to join usa. We're looking across every discipline and diverse levels of seniority. Information technology'south a pretty exciting time for our studio.

What practice y'all recollect? Would you be interested in another WWII-prepare Call of Duty? Or has the era been fully tapped out?
