Call of Duty is a first-person shooter video game franchise created by Infinity Ward, a video game developer owned by Activision.
During its time under Activision, the series became one of the most popular video game franchises in the gaming industry. However in 2012, Morningwood Arts announced a deal to buy the Call of Duty franchise from Activision for $1.4 billion and had plans for the future of the series. With this acquisition of the series, Morningwood Arts had the rights to previous titles including the Modern Warfare and Black Ops story-arcs. Along with this, they had also acquired Six-4 Games, renaming them Nakamura Interactive and assisted in the development of Call of Duty: Federation War.
Morningwood Studios, Nakamura Interactive, and Tachibana Games are the three main developers who create the new line of Call of Duty games with Frost Games occasionally providing some assistance.
