Treyarch Now A '100-Percent Call of Duty Studio'

Treyarch may see the situation of their fellow Call of Duty game-makers at Infinity Ward as "unfortunate" right now, but their own role in creating games for the franchise remains a huge part of Activision's plans for the future. In fact, they're willing to say out loud what everyone else probably assumed by this point, which is that Call of Duty is entirely what they exist to produce.

"Treyarch is a 100-percent Call of Duty studio — and it has been for a long time now, long before any of [the Infinity Ward] events occurred," studio head Mark Lamia told CVG.

In describing what he believes that distinction now means, Lamia articulated what he believes his office's purpose entails.

"We focused all of our efforts on creating the best Call of Duty game we possibly can and what that meant is not working on anything else," he explained. "We are a multiple team studio and focusing on Call of Duty and Call of Duty gameplay meant focusing all of our teams on that."

Longtime CoD followers surely understood how dedicated Treyarch was already. Nonetheless, it's now been stated. Sorry to burst anyone's hopes and dreams who might have been holding out for a non-CoD announcement from Treyarch at E3 though.
