One day after the release of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, Activision has confirmed that a new Call of Duty game will be released in 2012. I don't know anyone who wasn't expecting this news but at least we now have firm confirmation. The major thing we don't know yet is what studio will be producing the game. I would put my money on Treyarch who developed Call of Duty: Black Ops; Treyarch has developed Call of Duty games in the off years that the Modern Warfare games are being worked on. Here is Activision CEO Bobby Kotick's statement:
"As we focus on 2012, we have a strong product pipeline which features a minimum of two highly-anticipated new titles from Blizzard Entertainment, including Diablo III, and a new Call of Duty game from Activision Publishing, As a result, we expect to deliver another year of profitable growth. I believe our unyielding commitment to excellence and our creative talent around the globe will continue to position Activision Blizzard as the leader in interactive entertainment."
Another question to think about is whether this new Call of Duty game will be released on whatever new consoles are released next year. We know the Wii U will be released next year but there are new rumors of a 2012 release for a new Xbox; would the next Call of Duty show up on these new consoles, what do you think? And what are some of your hopes for the next Call of Duty game?
