Call
of Duty: Advanced Warfare is
a military
science fiction first-person
shooter video game
published by Activision. Sledgehammer
Gamesdeveloped the Microsoft
Windows, PlayStation
4 and Xbox
One versions of the
game, while High
Moon Studios developed
the versions released on PlayStation

360, and Raven
Software developed
the game's multiplayer and the Exo-Zombies mode. Advanced Warfare is
Sledgehammer's first Call of Duty title where they are the
primary developer, following the supporting work they did on Call
of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 alongside Infinity
Ward in 2011. The
game was released on November 4, 2014, but a special edition titled the Day Zero Edition,
which came with bonus in-game content, was released on November 3 for
people who pre-ordered the game.
Before
the development of Advanced
Warfare, Sledgehammer were originally working on an action-adventure game
titled Call of Duty: Fog of War,
which was going to be set during the events of the Vietnam
War. Development for Advanced
Warfare began in
late 2011, shortly before the release of Modern Warfare 3.
The game became the first entry in the Call of Duty series
since Call
of Duty 2 to
feature a game engine that has had its majority re-written and built
from scratch. For the game's single-playercampaign
mode, Sledgehammer employed veteran actors Troy
Bakerand Kevin
Spacey in lead
roles. The game's story, featuring a futuristic setting which is set
between 2054 and 2061, follows Jack Mitchell of theUnited
States Marine Corps and
his interactions with Atlas, a private military corporation that sells
its services to the highest bidder.
