eli5: how does AAA game development work?

611 views

When I fire up call of duty there is listed approximately 50 or 60 companies in the opening sequence, yet streamers only ever refer to treyarch. Then I fire uo Witcher 3, and there is credited nearly no companies by comparison yet it is one of best games to come out of the last 6 years. How does AAA game development work?

Cut the game up into tiny little pieces and have multiple studios work on them and put them together. This is what needs to happen when you are literally pumping out a new call of duty every 24 months (the teams usually release a new call of duty every 2 years offset)

They basically work the same way as an indie studio but they can just toss millions of dollars at their problems to try and fix them.
