Call of Duty 6 was decided to hit the markets in 2009, but Game Cyte announced that they were wrong. Check it out:
At Activision Blizzard’s analyst day in Santa Monica, Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith just revealed that Call of Duty 6 is being developed by Infinity Ward for a 2010 release… and that the company has every intention to “monetize” the series’ newfound online popularity with both it and Call of Duty: World at War.
Though Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick had previously confirmed a new Call of Duty would appear in 2009, Griffith told attendees and online listeners that “for calendar year 2010, Infinity Ward is already at work on the next installment in the franchise.”
The announcement was bookended by discussions of the franchises’ potential for, shall we say… alternate revenue streams. “The average Call of Duty player has spent five full 24-hour days playing online,” Griffith proudly proclaimed, “and over time, we’ll find ways to increase the monetization of this opportunity.” Though Griffith did not provide details, he mentioned that Call of Duty 5 would begin this initiative by providing two forms of downloadable content — regular, and an all-new premium form of DLC he dubbed “Day 1 Advantage.”
We’ll try not to read too much into that name.
While Griffith made no mention of aliens or spaceships appearing in the next CoD, he did say that the success of the series has enabled the company to consider “new theaters, new plotlines,” and even “new gametypes.”
A nice quote from this article, "Infinity Ward to Develop, Activision Blizzard to Monetize".
