Activision has revealed that this year’s Call of Duty game from Sledgehammer Games will be built for PS4 and Xbox One first.
This news comes after Activision’s earnings call. CEO of Activision Eric Hirshberg, confirmed that the new Call of Duty game will be developed for the next-gen consoles in mind.
Hirschberg said:
Sledgehammer is approaching this as a next-gen-first development. Obviously in the console-transition year, anyone who developed a cross-generational game last year had to deal with the fact that the technology of the next-gen platforms was still coming into focus and changing quite a bit during the development process…Now that we have the next-gen hardware out in the marketplace and solid, that is our primary development.
Last year’s Call of Duty: Ghosts was the opposite as the game was made for PS3 and Xbox 360 in mind before getting ported over to the PS4 and Xbox One. The graphics were good on PS4 and Xbox One, but weren’t a huge leap.
Hopefully Sledgehammer makes a Call of Duty game that will visually look better than any other games in the franchise’s history.
