Call of Duty series is done for...
Activision has this week given a hint to the future direction of its
Call of Duty franchise with a number of Web domain registrations. The
publisher registered callofdutyfuturewarfare.com, along with
callofdutyfuturewarfare2.com and callofdutyfuturewarfare3.com on
Tuesday, along with a number of variations on that theme.
The publisher also registered several other "warfare" domains without
any Call of Duty branding: spacewarfare2.com, spacewarfare3.com,
secretwarfare2.com and secretwarfare3.com. Advancedwarfare2.com, and
advancedwarfare3.com were also registered at the same time.
Secretwarfare.com is a preexisting domain, currently registered to an
address in Norway unconnected with Activision, while spacewarfare.com
and futurewarfare.com remain up for grabs. The domain registrations were
first spotted by self-proclaimed "information-sleuthing site"
Superannuation.
Domain registrations do not always indicate product names, though often
they do serve as an indication of future plans. It is known, however,
that there are currently at least four more Call of Duty games in
development. There is the recently unveiled Call of Duty: Black Ops,
being developed World at War studio Treyarch, as well as three
as-yet-untitled projects. One is an action adventure title from
Sledgehammer Games, another is a project presumed to be Call of Duty:
Modern Warfare 3 at troubled dev house Infinity Ward, and a third is
reportedly in development at Raven Software. There is also a massively
multiplayer title in the works in Asia, though a developer has yet to be
attached to that project.
Activision outlined its expansion plans for the Call of Duty franchise
in March, when a new COD business unit was unveiled shortly after the
ousting of Infinity Ward's cofounders. The firing of Jason West and
Vince Zampella led to at least 35 other resignations from Infinity Ward,
with many key staff jumping ship to the two executives' new studio,
Respawn Entertainment.
