Treyarch

Treyarch is an American video game developer company, founded in 1996 and acquired by Activision in 2001. They are located in Santa Monica, California.

Treyarch has developed several games in the Call of Duty series, which are listed below. All of the Call of Duty games developed by Treyarch have been set in the WWII timeframe, with the exception of their upcoming title, Call of Duty: Black Ops. Unlike Infinity Ward, Treyarch has developed games outside of the Call of Duty franchise. In addition, unlike Infinity Ward, Treyarch traditionally makes Nintendo Wii versions of their games.

Some of Treyarch's Call of Duty team comes from an older studio known as Gray Matter Interactive, responsible for games like Kingpin (while under their old name "Xatrix") and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The team was responsible for developing Call of Duty: United Offensive before merging with Treyarch. Some of the Gray Matter team still resides at Treyarch, although its founder and several executives from the former studio have found employment elsewhere.

Treyarch is sometimes referred to as Call of Duty's "B-Team" since the Call of Duty games that they made in the past weren't as successful as those made by Infinity Ward.

Treyarch's latest game, Call of Duty: Black Ops, was released on November 9th, 2010.
