Details of Sledgehammer Games’ third-person entry in the Call of Duty series have been revealed, with the game said to have been six month into development.
“We came on board to make a third-person action adventure game, in the Call of Duty franchise, and we were working on it about six months,” Activision general manager and studio founder Glen Schofield told Gamespot. “Maybe a little longer,” added co-founder Michael Condrey.
“We had six, eight months on that. We had a prototype together that was pretty compelling, looked really good,” Condrey added.
It seems working on Modern Warfare 3 was simply an opportunity the fledgling studio couldn’t refuse.
“The opportunity to work on the biggest thing in the industry with Infinity Ward, that’s demonstrated that they know how to do exceptional software, was just an opportunity we couldn’t [miss],” Condrey said.
“There’s a lot of people on the team who have worked on Call of Duty before, who have worked on first-person shooters before, so there’s a lot of built-in knowledge about the first-person shooter genre and a lot of passionate gamers. Some guys on the floor are on their tenth level prestige in Black Ops.
“So it was a nice marriage of experience in the genre and kind of fan desire to work on this franchise.”
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is due for release on all major formats on November 8.
