Infinity Ward not too long ago posted up a notice about a new studio expansion in Kraków, Poland. The company under Activision, as of now, seeks for game code engineers for a new project, which is likely a new Call of Duty παιχνίδι.
If you don’t know, Infinity Ward is responsible for one of the most down voted video game trailers on YouTube; specifically, they’re responsible for Call of Duty: Άπειρη Warfare. The trailer sits at three million dislikes as of this writing, but could the company come back with a better game?
There’s no guarantee that the new Infinity Ward game will be good, mediocre or terrible, but given that publisher Activision likes yearly Call of Duty games to come out, we do know that one of the publisher’s sub-company games is in the works as we speak.
Back on December 15th, Infinity Ward Poland was announced and is said to become home to R&D (research and development). This team will be working closely with the Infinity Ward Los Angeles studio, which the notice explaining this reads:
«Είμαστε ενθουσιασμένοι που ανακοινώνουμε την επέκταση των δυνατοτήτων ανάπτυξής μας με το άνοιγμα του Infinity Ward Poland», δήλωσε ο Dave Stohl, επικεφαλής στούντιο για το Infinity Ward. «Χτίζουμε ένα στούντιο Ε&Α παγκόσμιας κλάσης που θα αξιοποιήσει τη δημιουργική τοπική κουλτούρα ανάπτυξης παιχνιδιών και ταλέντο στην Πολωνία. Αυτή η επέκταση θα εδραιώσει περαιτέρω τη θέση μας ως μία από τις πιο αφοσιωμένες και ολοκληρωμένες ομάδες στον κλάδο. Ανυπομονούμε για σπουδαία πράγματα να έρθουν.”
