Sledgehammer LinkedIn Hint Sparks Lore-Heavy Action RPG Rumor

A LinkedIn profile from Ben Wanat, a former Sledgehammer Games executive who is now Creative Director and co-founder of Lurker Entertainment, suggests the studio is developing an unannounced action RPG with a large world and deep lore—hinting at a potential new IP beyond Call of Duty. Wanat’s listed responsibilities point to world-building, cultures and languages, signaling a mechanics-rich RPG. The claim is unconfirmed, and while Sledgehammer’s recent work has centered on Call of Duty titles and Switch ports, there is no official confirmation of such an RPG project.
