Michael Condrey, the co-founder of Sledgehammer Games and former game director on several Call of Duty titles, appeared in a documentary deleted scene released on April 7, 2026, discussing a hypothetical scenario in which the James Bond franchise could have prevented the creation of Call of Duty. Condrey, who previously oversaw the James Bond video game series at EA, recounted that in the early 2000s, the development studio 2015 (later known as Infinity Ward) pitched to develop a James Bond PC game. Condrey said EA chose a different developer for that project, and he noted that had 2015 been hired, they might have continued making Bond games instead of founding Infinity Ward, which went on to create the first Call of Duty game in 2003. Condrey described the situation as a "weird multiverse" moment and reflected positively on his time working on the Bond franchise, calling it "special in its own way."
