The earliest entry in the well-liked Activision series that continued into the future was Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. With a star-studded cast and a setting in the near future, it may wait for a formal sequel. Bret Robbins, a senior creative director who worked at the studio, talked about it. It turns out that the Advanced Warfare 2 sequel was not the only project that was shelved.
Bret Robbins stressed that the studio began work very soon after the release of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare in an interview with Minnmax. To refresh your memory, the book was published in the fall of 2014. The story of a former US Army soldier who joins a corporate, special force is told in the script. The game included Kevin Spacey as a guest star, while Troy Baker played the game’s main character. The studio already had a prototype demo, claims Robbins. What altered for the developers to give up on Advanced Warfare 2?
There is a new World War II. It appeared to be a superior choice.
Robbins said that Activision also pressured the choice. Following that, the group came to the consensus that it would be sensible to head back to the regions with the most active hostilities. Call of Duty: World War II was released in 2017 and was a big hit. The conflicting reviews of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, the series’ most futuristic entry, served as the decision’s impetus. But Robbins does not deny that “Advanced Warfare 2 would be fantastic.” Sledgehammer had another, very large-scale project in mind.
The crew was never supposed to create any Call of Duty games initially. The idea for a third-person perspective video game was born. It was “Uncharted meets Call of Duty,” according to Robbins. One can only assume that the designers wanted to create a shooter with a cinematic feel. It was planned for the production to be somewhat violent. Unfortunately, we will never know all the specifics. Robbins was subsequently questioned regarding the decision made between these two potential enterprises.
We owned advanced warfare. This tale was my own. We entered this planet together.
In 2018, Brett Robbins left the studio. He entered Ascendant Studio, his own space. Immortals of Aveum, a fantasy-themed first-person shooter being developed by the same firm, is highly influenced by Call of Duty’s action-packed reputation. It turns out that earlier rumors about Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare 2’s release in 2025 were false. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011) was created by Sledgehammer Games. We’re anticipating the studio’s upcoming productions.
