This news should not surprise you if you have even a passing interest in video games, but Activision confirmed yesterday that the next Call of Duty game is planned for release in 2012.
"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," Activision CEO Bobby Kotick said in a statement that went along with the company's quarterly financial statement.
There is no word yet on what the game will be sub-titled or any other details, but if I were you, I'd expect a first-person military shooter that focuses on dialed in multiplayer. Based on previous release schedule, it probably won't be called "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4." Instead, it will be more like "Call of Duty: INSERT NAME," but these details are just speculation, of course.
In further quarterly financial statement news, Activision reported quarterly revenues of $754 million, up 16 percent from $650 million for the same period the year before. The publisher also posted a net profit of $148 million for the quarter, up year-over-year from $51 million.

Would have been a bigger surprise if there wasn't going to be another Call of Duty next year.

We have to wait an entire year?? Come on Activision, that's ridiculous. Surely it would only take 3 months to come up with a couple of new maps and a similar campaign. Step it up.

It will happen, and it will likely not be a MW4. If that ever happens, it won't be until 2013. IW had their year, now it's Treyarch's turn to come up with something. Let's see if they can use some more of the magic that they had with Black Ops.

I cancelled my Xbox Live. Too boring, and no Batman Arkham City demo (who needs it, I bought the game on day one anyways, thanks alot!). RIP XboX Live....

I'll say this for Bobby Kotick: He certainly doesn't waste any time!
