The latest instalment in the Call of Duty series is set for release later on this year and many signs are pointing to it being a sequel of Treyarch’s last outing.
The Call of Duty series follows a rather unique development pattern; although a single game in the series takes two years to develop, the series follows an annual release model. Confused?
If the reader is confused, which he or she should not be, the reason for that puzzling bit of news is simple. The Call of Duty series is developed by two different studios.
Infinity Ward is behind the Modern Warfare series and Treyarch is the studio that developed World at War and Black Ops. To make things a little simpler, any Call of Duty game that had zombies in it was developed by Treyarch.
So one can imagine that with Activision, the publisher of the series, following the, aforementioned, annual release schedule, that the next game in the series would be announced sooner rather than later.
The game has been confirmed by the publisher at a recent investors call, but the title of the next game was not disclosed.
At this point the reader must be wondering what the fuss is all about, after all the only thing missing from the announcement was just the name.
Well, the name of the next game in the series is a big deal. Will Activision be continuing where they left off so ominously in Black Ops with a sequel, or will they move on to some other way in some other time period?
Luckily for the gaming public the internet is full of information; some of which is released before it should be.
One such bit of news emerged in the form of a CV of an artist by the name of Hugo Beyer. Mr. Beyer has listed on his CV that he has worked on Black Ops 2.
For those looking to find the CV and take a look for themselves, there is some bad news and it turns out that the resume was pulled off the site, something Activision are known for doing.
If anyone is left unconvinced by this article that Black Ops 2 is the next part of the series, the second article does a fair bit in providing more proof. (http://www.senore.com/Black-Ops-2-sighting-Part-2-a130336)
