Activision is merging together their Infinity Ward and Neversoft studios into a
single unit, reports
Giant Bomb, saying this is outlined in an internal memo from Activision
Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg, which they vaguely explain they somehow
"obtained." Hirshberg calls the result of this marriage a "super-studio" which
will retain the Infinity Ward name. "The impact of their 20-year run of hard
work and success cannot be overstated," said Hirshberg. "As already mentioned,
we are merging these two very talented teams and obviously had to choose a name
for the combined studio. Since the Infinity Ward brand is indelibly tied to the
Call of Duty franchise, it is the sensible choice. While it will be strange to
not see the Neversoft logo on future games, the important things--which are the
Neversoft team’s talent, creativity, professionalism and commitment to creative
excellence--all remain unchanged as part of this new chapter."
