New reports suggest that Activision’s recently-founded Leeds studio will develop all future handheld and mobile iterations of the Call of Duty franchise. According to UK games industry expert Andy Payne, Leeds will be developing "all handheld versions [and] iOS versions of Call of Duty" moving forward.
According to Leeds, the various studios developing Call of Duty are collaborative, reusing assets and exchanging them as needed. From this point forward, Leeds will be able to use the same assets for use in mobile games. “The two studios are saying, 'I need a tank, pull it off from the library'. And those assets are also going to be starting to be used by the mobile team, which is going to be based in Leeds,” he said.
We know that Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is currently in development for Vita, though it’s still unknown who’s developing that game. Unfortunately, the rumor about Leeds is likely only referring to future games, as Declassified is set to hit stores before the end of the year and Activision Leeds was only created in May, which wouldn’t line up.
Previous Call of Duty handheld and mobile developers include n-space, who developed DS versions of Call of Duty 4, Black Ops, Modern Warfare 2 and World at War. Black Ops Zombies and World at War Zombies on iOS, meanwhile, were developed by Ideaworks.
