Tom Henderson is saying that CoD 2025 does not currently have a main developer and that Sledgehammer Games basically refused as they didn't want a repeat of MW3.

Infinity Ward are doing 2026, Sledgehammer is doing 2027.

He says he now expects 2025 to fall to Treyarch but honestly they should just have a year off then basically have a 1-year dev cycle CoD.

They can refuse? Wtf. Lmao. Love them for that, 

They're so close...

  • Treyarch in 2024 = 4 Years Since Last Entry.
  • 2025 = ?
  • Infinity Ward in 2026 = 4 Years Since Last Entry.
  • Sledgehammer in 2027 = 4 Years Since Last Entry.

Either Sledgehammer or Treyarch are going to get screwed...

If it had to be one, it should be Treyarch, as they are huge (over 600 employees) and Sledgehammer has already been treated shitty enough, Treyarch is also the best COD developer.

Sadly...Maybe it's time to get a 4th developer on CODs rotation, at least the release schedules will be smoother and every entry will be on a 4 year schedule. I don't think they'll skip a year but 2025 is one where they could get away with it I think, Treyarch 2024 will be huge and still played in 2025, they could just release a major expansion instead for that COD, I don't think Battlefield is anytime soon either so no risk of losing any fans.

I think their only hope of CoD 2025 not turning out like MW3 at this point (assuming they don't delay it) would be to make Treyarch lead dev, and then have people from basically every Activision studio assisting them. So something like:

  • Treyarch- 200 of their 600 devs on CoD 2025 throughout 2024, 400 of them on CoD 2025 once CoD 2024 releases (the rest starting on CoD 2028)
  • Infinity Ward- 150 of their 500+ devs on CoD 2025, the rest on CoD 2026
  • Sledgehammer- 50 of their 370 devs on CoD 2025, the rest on CoD 2027 (with 30% of the studio recently laid off, they can't afford to spare too many)
  • Raven Software- 80 of their 360 devs on CoD 2025, the rest on CoD Warzone and assistance on CoD 2024, CoD 2026, and CoD 2027
  • High Moon- 150 of their 250 devs on CoD 2025, the rest assisting on other in-development CoD games
  • Toys For Bob- 80 of their 150 devs on CoD 2025, the rest on early development of one of Xbox's platformer IP's maybe
  • Beenox- 200 of their 460 devs on CoD 2025, the rest working on something else, like early development of one of Xbox's platformer IP's
  • Demonware- 150 of their 270 devs on CoD 2025, the rest assisting on other in-development CoD games

Like that is pretty much their only hope other than a delay, Treyarch is going to need alot of assistance to develop CoD 2025 in less than 2 years.
