Yale Miller and Kevin Hendrickson will take over as co-studio heads going forward. Miller and Hendrickson have been with Activision for years, with numerous respective credits on the Call of Duty franchise. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Gordon&#8217;s departure comes just a few years after Treyarch&#8217;s studio design director, David Vonderhaar \u2014 who was best known for overseeing the multiplayer modes in the Black Ops franchise \u2014 left to start his own studio. <\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">The Best Call of Duty Campaigns<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\">&lt;img alt=&quot;Following its debut in 2003, Call of Duty quickly ascended to become the best-selling first-person shooter series ever, a title it continues to hold to this day. That\u2019s almost entirely down to its ever-popular multiplayer, which keeps fans playing day in, day out. But there are, of course, two sides to Call of Duty. Standing side-by-side the PvP are the single-player campaigns, which, for those of us a little unwilling to huck ourselves into the online hellhole and compete in the Call of Duty combat cauldron, tell cinematic stories straight from the front line. <\/p>\n<p>But which Call of Duty games have the greatest campaigns? IGN\u2019s keenest and most experienced Call of Duty fans have combined to carve out a list of our favourite single-player stories, plucked from all throughout the series\u2019 two-decade-and-change history. We\u2019re looking for campaigns that champion Call of Duty\u2019s greatest strengths: those with great mission variety, ambitious set-pieces, and novel mechanics, as well as the more traditional \u201cgreat FPS\u201d staples like strong level design and memorable storytelling. Only the campaigns that have it all can truly rise to the top of this list, which means this year\u2019s somewhat muddled Black Ops 7 didn\u2019t quite make the cut. But which ones did?  <\/p>\n<p>Here are our top 10 Call of Duty campaigns.<br \/>\n&#8221; decoding=&#8221;async&#8221; class=&#8221;progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity&#8221; loading=&#8221;lazy&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/treyarch-head-mark-gordon-steps-down-from-call-of-duty-studio.gif&#8221; data-cy=&#8221;progressive-image&#8221;&gt;<span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\"><\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Treyarch isn&#8217;t expected to have a new Call of Duty game for another two years, so long as there aren&#8217;t any major changes or disruptions to the Call of Duty development cycle. Infinity Ward will release Modern Warfare 4 later this year, and Sledgehammer Games is expected, though not confirmed, to release a new entry in the franchise next year. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It&#8217;s unclear if Treyarch is producing another Black Ops game. Although Black Ops 6 was a success, Black Ops 7 was considered a commercial disappointment and marked a fall from grace for the series. In the meantime, there are all kinds of rumors that suggest Activision and Treyarch are planning to re-release Black Ops 1 and 2 for modern hardware. Activision has yet to confirm anything, but fans found listings for the games in PlayStation&#8217;s backend. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Treyarch also recently updated Black Ops 7 with a new playlist known as Black Ops Classic. The playlist features old-school Black Ops maps and makes major changes to the gameplay to be more in line with the original Black Ops games. Some speculated it may be planting seeds for the re-releases.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Cade Onder is a freelancer for IGN&#8217;s news team.
