Call of Duty fans will often debate their favorite developer, and over the years, the general consensus has constantly shifted. FollowingCall of Duty 4 and the original Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward was the most popular, though this changed with the growing popularity of Treyarch’s Zombies mode and the Black Ops subseries as a whole. Now, things are shifting once again, as Treyarch has been plagued by rushed developments and Infinity Ward has found great success with its Modern Warfare reboot.
However, the Call of Duty franchise has three different studios behind its premium games, with another in Raven Software that handles the free-to-play juggernaut that is Call of Duty: Warzone. Sledgehammer Games has not managed to shake its reputation of being the new kid on the block despite releasing its first Call of Duty game all the way back in 2014. From Advanced Warfare to Vanguard, the studio has yet to release a game as beloved as Black Ops or Modern Warfare. Though it could attempt to start up another new universe with its next mainline game, Sledgehammer should instead work with an established brand — bringing back Call of Duty: Ghosts.

In particular, gamers have been waiting for answers about Call of Duty: Ghosts’ cliffhanger for years, as the campaign ends with some obvious setup for a sequel that never came. Beyond that, Extinction has become a cult classic, as the alien-focused co-op mode provided some unique gameplay that differed greatly from the series’ standout Zombies mode.
