New Call of Duty?

May 09, 2008 9:17am CST
The next entry in the Activision-owned wartime shooting franchise Call of Duty will take place in a “new military theater,” according to Activision Publishing CEO and president Mike Griffith.Speaking during a conference call yesterday, Griffith said that the unnamed sequel, which many unofficially refer to as Call of Duty 5, will arrive on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, and Nintendo DS later this year.

The CEO did not elaborate further on the game’s setting, but his comments suggest it will not return to the World War II setting featured in the first three Call of Duty titles.

As pointed out by Gamasutra, no details were provided as to which studio is developing the game. Past reports have suggested that Call of Duty 3 developer Treyarch will be returning to the franchise, with speculation that series creator and Call of Duty 4 developer Infinity Ward is already working on Call of Duty 6.

    After the huge success of CALL OF DUTY 4 I was hoping that the 5th game would be similar and designed by the same creators as number 4. Time will tell is number 5 will be as good. At least number 6 will rock.

    Besides the Call of Duty series I’m a fan of EA’s BLACK and from the videos so far “KILLZONE 2.
