Surprise! Activision plans on releasing another Call of Duty, which will once again be developed by the other studio who works on the series, Treyarch. The news came directly from the company during a Q&A earnings call. Sadly, the publisher didn’t reveal any details about the upcoming first-person shooter, but back in May, rumors have been floating around that the sixth installment will be told around the Vietnam War era. But until there is a official unveiling, it’s nothing more than speculation as of now.
Activision also confirmed a new Guitar Hero is set to come out next year, which should be the 255th installment of the popular franchise. Of course, no word if a new instrument will be included this time around, but it’s a safe bet that your current plastic guitar will still work with the newest sequel.
The company also mentioned that a brand new Spider-Man videogame will be in stores in 2010, as well as a brand new Shrek title. While I think the Shrek title will be based off the forth movie, I doubt Spider-Man will be. According to IMDB and various other sites, “Spider-Man 4″ is scheduled to hit theaters in 2011.

We know Modern Warfare 2 is about six months away from being released. Despite the fact, it looks Activision is already figuring out with what their going to do with “Call of Duty 7.” The news comes from a “reliable” source who told the website ‘thatvideogameblog‘ that Noah Heller is involved with the project. If this is the case, then Treyarch would be developing the seventh installment of the franchise. For the last couple of years, every time ‘Infinity Ward‘ (Modern Warfare) creates a COD title, the following year the next game would develop by Treyarch. So, it looks like the ritual is still going to continue.
The insider told the site that Activision is trying to license music from record companies, that were record around the time of the Vietnam War. If the publisher is really trying to get a hold of the tunes, it would be safe to suggest that the next Call of Duty would be told during the Vietnam Era. Which, I don’t think is a bad idea considering there hasn’t been enough games which took place during the controversial conflict. And certainly not as many as World War II title.
It’ll be interesting to see if the name Call of Duty is used for the alleged game. I believe it will be, because I’m guessing Activision is reserving the name for Treyarch titles.
If you hope to hear an announcement at E3 — don’t! Because realistically if the game is being developed, it is in the very early stages. On top of that, Activision is going to solely focus on Modern Warfare 2, for the show.
