What would be truly surprising to hear one of these days is that a new Call of Duty game won’t be coming out the following year. That won’t be the case this year as — to almost literally no one’s surprise — Activision is planning to have a new Call of Duty out in 2012.
While everyone’s attention is currently directed towards Modern Warfare 3 with it having launched today, development on the next entry in the series is no doubt well underway. Its existence was confirmed during an investors conference call today as CEO Bobby Kotick stated both it and two Blizzard games (one being Diablo III) will be out next year.
