The Call of Duty community went wild recently after rumors of future Call of Duty installments surfaced on social media. Over the past few weeks, there has been a lot of chatter about a potential Call of Duty: Ghosts and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare sequels. However, it has been confirmed that all these rumors are fake.
Visceral and VondyisPog, two popular CoD data miners, claimed that two CoD projects named “Anvil” and “Devilwood” are in the works. Anvil was supposed to be a Ghosts-themed title from Infinity Ward, and Devilwood was expected to be a Sledgehammer title based on Advanced Warfare. Unfortunately, it has now been confirmed that both of these projects don’t exist.
Call of Duty: Ghosts and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare sequel rumors are fake
As per Insider Gaming, rumors regarding two CoD projects, “Anvil” and “Devilwood” are fake. The rumors gained the spotlight after two popular CoD data miners, Visceral and VondyisPog, backed them up on social media. It was revealed that Anvil and Devilwood, believed to be Call of Duty: Ghosts and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare sequels, were two Activision projects in development.
Both of these data miners have confirmed that the news is fake and no such projects are in the works. Enough time has passed since the release of Call of Duty: Ghosts and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and finally, some players are ready to admit that these games received unnecessary hate back in the day.
An Uncharted–style Call of Duty game was also scrapped
In 2014, former Sledgehammer boss Michael Condrey revealed that they worked on an Uncharted-style Call of Duty game but the idea was eventually scrapped. He said (via GameSpot),
“In your head, you instantly can imagine an Uncharted style of game, but done in the lore of Call of Duty. You can see that. We built a prototype and it was cool. It was a true, gritty, Apocalypse Now take on Vietnam in an interactive way. We had a 15-minute demo, and there were some great moments.”
Last year in an interview with MinnMax, former Sledgehammer Games developer Bret Robbins confirmed that they created the demo but the idea was never executed. Despite these rumored Call of Duty titles getting scrapped, the Call of Duty franchise has remained one of the most popular video game franchises in the world.
