High Moon Studios is looking for developers for a new project related to the Call of Duty series. The game in question has not been announced and it is not easy to say what it is, since now the franchise has several branches, including main chapters, free-to-play live service for home platforms and free-to-play live service for mobile platforms.
High Moon Studios is a highly experienced software house, owned by Activision Blizzard (therefore by Microsoft, in case the acquisition goes smoothly), used in recent years as a support for other teams. The latest game released is Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in 2020.

The figures sought are quite indicative. In particular, those related to gameplay and production, which suggest a more central role in development than in the past (even if in these cases it is never easy to establish what the contribution of the individual studios is). Could it be a completely new title?
As already specified, it is difficult to say for sure, given how things work in the modern video game world, where individual titles are often the work of hundreds of people, many times linked to external studios contacted to create very specific aspects of the products.
