Activision Confirms Sequels

Activision Publishing CEO Mark Griffiths announced in a conference call to investors that sequels in the Call of Duty and Guitar Hero franchises were in development.

"New titles will be coming in the Guitar Hero and Call of Duty franchises, along with additional downloadable content for the current titles Guitar Hero III and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare."

"Although there was no word on whether the next Call of Duty would be once again set in the modern day or taking the game back to its roots, Activision did confirm that a new sequel in the franchise was coming, and that it would also be coming to the PlayStation 2 and the Wii this time round."

Hopefully this means that the patch for Call of Duty 4 for the Xbox 360 will be coming out relatively soon. I know they have the map design contest going on and hopefully they can get those out soon too, so long as it isn't more generic bombed out middle eastern cities...
