History[]

Treyarch was founded in 1996 by Peter Akemann and Doğan Köslü. Activision has owned Treyarch since 2001.

Before Treyarch's major contribution to the Call of Duty franchise, Gray Matter Interactive, a former Call of Duty producer, produced Call of Duty: United Offensive. However, in 2005, the company was merged into Treyarch.

Unlike Infinity Ward, Treyarch has also developed games outside of the Call of Duty franchise, such as Spider-Man 2.
