Hey, Guys! There’s Another Call of Duty Coming, Too

by on

It’s probably coming from Treyarch, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet.

I should just create a template that gets updated once per year, you know?

Activision’s second quarter earnings call landed on the same day as the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, where it confirmed what we already knew: another Call of Duty will arrive 2012.

If Activision continues its swapped studio development cycle, it’ll be Treyarch up to bat next fall, presumably with a sequel to Black Ops. Whether that bit is true or not hasn’t been announced yet.

Treyarch has been hiring for engineers to bring its “hugely successful game to a new console.” Wii U, anyone?

Modern Warfare 3 is expected to be another massive hit for Activision, predicted to sell as many as nine million copies today.

People want what they want, and sales show people want..no, Need CoD every year. I can't seem to hate Activision for giving people what they want and making a LOT of money in the process.

This.

And it's not like the games are bad. Thanks to the two-developer strategy (hopefully three; I'd love to see what Sledgehammer can do on its own), the games are consistently high-quality, and both Treyarch and IW have their own approaches to both multiplayer and campaign. With something going this well, Activision would have to be out of its mind to not keep making CoD games.

Trust me, we'll all know when the well runs dry.
