===Neversoft merger and further expansion===
In May 2014, [[Neversoft]] was merged with Infinity Ward to form a single 'super-studio' after both collaborated on the development of ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]''. Neversoft studio head Joel Jewett and studio director Scott Pease retired shortly after the completion of the merger.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://charlieintel.com/rumor-neversoft-losing-name-merging-with-infinity-ward/23579/ |title=Neversoft and Infinity Ward merging into a single studio under 'Infinity Ward' name |date=May 3, 2014 |website=Charlie Intel |access-date=September 28, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://gamerant.com/neversoft-infinity-ward-combined-super-studio/ |title=Neversoft and Infinity Ward Being Combined into 'Super Studio' |date=May 4, 2014 |website=Game Rant |access-date=September 28, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.usgamer.net/articles/infinity-ward-and-neversoft-merge-to-form-infinity-ward |title=Infinity Ward and Neversoft Merge to Form...
