The Call of Duty series has been home to two fantastic developers over the past few years, though many PC fans may feel differently with the release of Modern Warfare 2. Both Infinity Ward and Treyarch have worked side by side to bring gamers multiple iterations of the franchise, but they may soon be accompanied by a new developer, reported the Los Angeles Times.
Activision has recently picked up a third studio to work on future Call of Duty games, although details about the new developer have yet to be released. However, it is interesting to note that Activision did just announce its new Sledgehammer Games Studio which is said to be working on an existing franchise. While this may seem like good news, the publisher also mentioned that they are still keeping their options open and that a Call of Duty MMO is still a possibility, which could upset a large percentage of the game's fan base.
Fans will just have to wait and see exactly who will be joining the Call of Duty franchise, and what type of game the developer will be offering. The possibility of an MMO was hinted at back in March of 2008, and this announcement seems like further confirmation that the idea of a Call of Duty MMO is a viable option for Activision.

As mentioned on G4 TV, "it's not known what the future holds for the series in terms of expanding beyond its first-person shooter roots, but a source close to Activision told the LA Times that a Call of Duty MMO was still a possibility. Rumors of this drastic shift for the series date back to last year, so this latest news isn't terribly surprising."
