Not Call of Duty as rumored



Activision Leeds confirmed that their first mobile game will be a revamped Pitfall version not the previously suggested Call of Duty franchise

Pitfall is back by the hand of Activision UK. The Leeds based division will release it on mobile devices (iOS, Android and probably Windows Phone). This refutes the previous rumors of a mobile Call of Duty.

According to MCV:

The first game from Activision's new Leeds, UK mobile studio is a revamp of classic owned IP Pitfall, not Call of Duty, the firm has told MCV.

Activision has swiftly moved to put the record straight after reports late last week claimed it was working on a UK-made Call of Duty for smartphones.

But this afternoon Activision's Martyn Brown, the Team 17 co-founder tapped up to build the new studio, told MCV:

"In setting up there has been a lot of interest given the publisher we are working with. In the third week of may we revealed we had the studio, and yes it is based in Leeds, and we have hired some key talent in the form of Mark Washbrook and Mark Lloyd [formerly of Rockstar Games].

"The first game we are making is in fact Pitfall, which is 30 years old this year."
