Infinity Ward MMOG Rumor

[Jan 08, 2010, 11:09 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Infinity Ward is developing an MMOG is the latest speculation for the Call of Duty franchise, reports Destructoid, where they say they've heard that Infinity Ward is hiring developers from Blizzard and Sony Online Entertainment (one of whom "may be the lead designer of EverQuest II") to help get things off the ground. They attribute these reports to "industry sources," who could not say whether or not this MMOG is actually part of the Call of Duty series. They say "Our Intel seems to indicate that Call of Duty will continue as an annual franchise while IW runs this MMO alongside it." This jibes with yesterday's rumor that Infinity Ward is not the developer on Modern Warfare 3, the presumed eighth installment in the series (even though the seventh installment hasn't been officially announced yet), and both rumors dovetail with an latimes.com story from November that said a third developer had been added to the series in addition to Infinity Ward and Treyarch, and that Activision was considering an MMO Call of Duty game. Thanks Joker961.

Creston Don't worry, only the PC version will be a P2P MMO, all other versions will run off SoE's own servers. On the bright side the PC version subscription will be half off due to the P2P nature! Lucky you!
