An”accidental” oversight saw the leaking of who will be developing Call of Duty 7. The game will almost definitely not be called that, but as far as time lines are concerned, it is number 7 until otherwise titled. Here is what was posted on LinkedIn by animator David Kim:
“I am currently on my second title as a senior animator in the games industry with Activision / Treyarch on Call Of Duty 7.”
Though this is big news considering how well the franchise has done, but is it any surprise. After Treyarch totally redeemed themselves with World at War after CoD 3 disappointed, they should stay in the loop. Allowing developers to alternate years with titles is a great business model. The time frame in which to finish the project and the ability to build off of what the predecessor has accomplished. Look for CoD 7 to hit the shelves in the fall of 2010.
Call of Duty 5 is an amazing game despite the fact that it is still set in the played out genre of WWII. The game exceeded despite this obvious redunduncy. Now, CoD 4: MW2 is still six months away, we hope, and will be developed by Infnity Ward. Treyarch has earned the right to dev CoD 7 people say and have maybe tipped their hand to what era the game will be in:
A source we consider reliable has told TVGB that Activision is looking to licence music for “Call of Duty 7,” music that gives some serious hints as to the locations the game may take us. Mentioned were Vietnam War era tunes, as well as Cuban, African, and Soviet Union music. The source says Call of Duty: World at War’s senior producer Noah Heller is involved, so it looks like Treyarch is once again developing.
I would love a Vietnam era game. The weapons are still decent, M-16, M-60, M-79 and obviously the AK-47. No one really has much to say about the Korean War and it is too soon to do Gulf War, ask Konami. We will keep you updated.
