It appears Call of Duty: WWII developer Sledgehammer Games contributed to the development of Call of Duty: Warzone, the free-to-play standalone battle royale game launching very soon.
It’s not a big surprise to learn that Sledgehammer is working with Infinity Ward on Warzone, as the developer also contributed to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It was confirmed at Modern Warfare’s launch that Sledgehammer was a support studio on Modern Warfare, alongside Beenox, High Moon, and Raven Software. This was notable because it was the first time one of the “main” Call of Duty studios helped out with a different studio’s Call of Duty game.
The other “main” Call of Duty teams include Infinity Ward and Treyarch.
The last Call of Duty game that Sledgehammer was a lead developer on was 2017’s Call of Duty: WWII. Studio bosses Michael Condrey and Glen Schofield have both quit the developer.
