Activision has updated the official Call of Duty website to add a new developer logo to the bottom of the page: High Moon Studios.

High Moon Studios has been an Activision owned studio for years working on many different projects for the company over the years. The studio worked on Call of Duty multiple times in the past with developing the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare in 2014. They also were tasked on assisting with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered in 2016.

High Moon was then changed to be a major support studio for Destiny, working closely with Bungie team to develop big expansions for Destiny series and working on Destiny 2 with Bungie. When Bungie and Activision split earlier this year, High Moon was then left without a certain project.

Now, the studio appears to be officially a support studio for Call of Duty going forward.

Activision already confirmed that High Moon is assisting Infinity Ward with the development of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but having their logo on the COD site means that they’re now exclusively working on the Call of Duty franchise.

In another case, Beenox, who develops the PC versions of Call of Duty recently does not have their logos on the Call of Duty site as they continue to work on other projects like Crash Bandicoot.

High Moon Studios previously developed Darkwatch, The Bourne Conspiracy, Transformers: War of Cybertron, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, and Deadpool games for Activision.

High Moon joins Raven Software, Treyarch, Infinity Ward, and Sledgehammer Games teams to be actively working on Call of Duty for Activision.
