New developments are afoot with future Call of Duty installments as Activision has announced that Infinity Ward Studios will take the lead in developing Warzone’s 2022 content.
In a new quarterly earnings press release, Activision opened up about Infinity Ward’s role in developing the franchise this year and how Raven Software will take a back seat for the time being.
When talking about the decision, Activations stated in the release:
While Raven Software has been overseeing Warzone since it was first released in 2020, this year’s content development will be led by the studio behind the highly successful Modern Warfare series.
The decision may have come on the back of the poor reception that Call of Duty titles have received in recent years. Vanguard was one of the most criticized by the community, and Warzone is not exactly doing too well when dealing with all the bugs and exploits introduced to the game via the Pacific update.
Activision further stated:
Warzone and Vanguard’s plummeting popularity is what may have led to this decision. While Infinity Ward will lead the development of future content, Raven Software will still be involved with the production to some degree.
However, players will not know much about the type of changes Infinity Ward will bring to the battle royale before the end of 2022.
And with Warzone Season 2 expected to go live in a few days, it will be quite interesting to see all the developments hitting the game this year.
