Now Treyarch, based in Santa Monica, California, is in charge of leading Call of Duty: Black Ops. "For 2020, Activision had originally switched things up, assigning the Wisconsin-based support studio Raven to take a leadership role alongside Sledgehammer to make a Call of Duty game set during the Cold War (likely involving Vietnam). In terms of how we've ended up where we are now, the article suggests that Treyarch has stepped in where Sledgehammer failed, and will take the lead on the projects as Raven and Sledgehammer move to support roles. There is no distinct release date at the time of writing, but you can likely expect the game to target the same sort of window that Sledgehammer's game was looking at - somewhere towards the end of 2020 (usually October).Īll the information about the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 5 game comes from the Kotaku report. However, this reduced development time has possibly been offset by news that Raven Software (the team responsible for Blackout back in Black Ops IIII) will be taking a leadership role on the game, too. It takes the development cycle down from three years into just under two - a tight squeeze for any studio! We only just saw a Treyarch game release in 2018, so these rumours have shaken the cores of what many people were expecting in 2020. "Instead, according to three people familiar with goings-on at the companies, Treyarch will lead development on a new Black Ops for 2020."
