In October, a job listing at Call of
Duty studio Treyarch indicated that the developer was readying a
next-generation entry in the shooter franchise. Now, it appears Infinity
Ward is also preparing a next-generation Call of Duty game.
A
requisition for a senior animator at Infinity Ward calls for a person
with "an interest in working with next-generation technologies."
Unfortunately,
the job listing does not offer any additional information about what
Infinity Ward may be at work on. As for what next-generation
technologies could pertain to, there are numerous possibilities. At the
2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo, Activision pledged its support for
Nintendo's Wii U, and rumors are swirling that Microsoft and Sony are
readying new consoles.
If
Infinity Ward is indeed at work on a next-generation Call of Duty
title, it won't be the only project the studio is crafting. Last week,
Activision announced the Modern Warfare 3 content season, and it named
Infinity Ward, Raven Software, and Sledgehammer Games as developers for
the barrage of game updates planned over the next nine months.
A
new Call of Duty game has been confirmed for release in 2012, but
Activision has yet to name this title or mention what developer(s) are
working on it. That game has no release date yet, but Call of Duty has
had new installments debut between late October and mid-November every
year since the franchise was launched in 2003.
