Although it’s not much, the first Call of Duty 8 details have been revealed by developers Sledgehammer Games. Studio co-founder Glen Schofield reported via Twitter that the next Call of Duty game will feature situations encountered by real military soldiers – or at least inspired by them.

“Working w/ military guys – their stories will blow you away. Names/locations will change but some situations going in the game – real stuff!” said Schofield earlier today, also metioning that the audio in the new game would be “better than what we did on Dead Space”.

Sledgehammer Games is led by ex-Visceral Games employees Schofield and Michael Condrey, who left EA’s Dead Space team to work on the Call of Duty franchise for Activision.

Sledgehammer’s Call Of Duty 8 is reported to be an ‘adventure FPS’ spin-off from the CoD series – and shouldn’t affect the arrival of Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 3 in 2011.

Some have rumoured that the Sledgehammer’s Dead Space heritage may mean it’s heading down the ‘Call of Duty: Space Warfare’ road. Looks like those space-based Call of Duty URL’s that Activision snapped up earlier this year may getting put to use for Sledgehammers CoD game. Look out Halo!
