However, it appears that this is not the case. According to reliable Call of Duty insider RalphsValve for WhatIfGaming, Sledgehammer will soon release Advanced Warfare 2, something that the team has been excited about since the launch of Call of Duty: Vanguard. According to the post on WhatIfGaming, Sledgehammer was entrusted with having something conceptually ready for executives to approve following Vanguard’s lukewarm reception.
It is interesting to note that Sledgehammer Games reportedly wanted to create a sequel to Call of Duty: Vanguard. The narrative team at the studio had more stories to tell with the game’s characters and even wanted to make “a number of sequels” at one point.
