Treyarch has admitted that there may still yet be another World War II based edition in the popular Call of Duty franchise, despite the fact the developer is happy to “end the war” with the upcoming fifth instalment in the series.
Speaking with CVG, World at War Senior Producer Noah Heller commented: “I can’t say that there won’t ever be a WWII Call of Duty game again, but we’re glad we were able to end the war and we’re glad we’re going to support the title with lots of downloadable content.”
“It’s gratifying that we’re able to show the close for once, rather than the opening,” he said, adding, “The war is over and both campaigns have a very clear ending.”
Holler also expressed his interest in being able to depict the end of the Second World War from the perspective of other countries, admitting there are still many stories left untold.
“If we had time we might have shown the end of the war from many different country’s perspectives, and maybe that’s a story still untold,” he said.
“But in the meantime people definitely haven’t seen the final charge of the Red Army, people haven’t seen what the fighting was like in Okinawa and I think it’s definitely important to show those stories from a polished perspective rather than show some of the mopping up elsewhere in the world.”
Call of Duty: World at War is due out this November on PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360.
