Following on from today’s rumor that Infinity Ward is working on a secret project and can’t commit toModern Warfare 3, some more gossip has found its way into our ears that might shed a little more light on the situation. According to our industry sources, Infinity Ward’s new game will be an MMO.
We’ve gotten word that IW is hiring people from Sony Online Entertainment, one of which may be the lead designer ofEverQuest II, and that a member of Blizzard employees may also be involved to help Infinity Ward get this new title off the ground. Our Intel seems to indicate thatCall of Dutywill continue as an annual franchise while IW runs this MMO alongside it.
It’s not yet known if this MMO is based in theCall of Dutyuniverse, although word of aCoD MMO has been floating aroundfor a very long time. In any case, this is nothing but speculation at the moment, thought it’s very interesting speculation indeed.
