On Tuesday, Activision announced the departure of longtime Call of Duty developer, Glen Schofield. Schofield had been with the company since 2009 and was the creative director of the Call of Duty franchise.

Schofield was instrumental in the development of some of the most successful Call of Duty titles, including Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops II. He also helped to create the popular Zombies mode for the series.

The news of his departure comes as a surprise to many fans of the series, as Schofield had been a major part of the Call of Duty team for over a decade. In a statement, Activision said that Schofield had “made a significant impact on the Call of Duty franchise and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”

Schofield has not yet revealed what his next project will be, but he did thank Activision for the opportunity to work on the Call of Duty franchise. He also thanked his fans for their support over the years.

It is unclear who will replace Schofield as creative director of the Call of Duty franchise. However, it is likely that Activision will look to bring in a new creative director to help continue the success of the series.

The departure of Schofield is a big loss for Activision and the Call of Duty franchise. He was an integral part of the development team and his contributions to the series will be remembered for years to come.
