There are more than 500 people, across four or five studios, keeping the
Call of Duty franchise running on a yearly schedule. It appears that keeping the franchise annualized isn't as simple as one studio takes the helm every year, with the ball previously bouncing between
Treyarch and
Infinity Ward. This year's installment,
Modern Warfare 3, required
cross-studio assistance, following the
implosion of developer Infinity Ward.
Although some
may not be fond of mega teams, Activision has a good friend in super-sized development clusters with Ubisoft.
Over 400 folks were needed for
Assassin's Creed 2 and that number hasn't violently shifted as the franchise
annualized, delivering the stellar
Brotherhood the following year and
Revelations this fall.
