User blog:Andrew Schlieffen/Modern Warfare 3 Announcement

We have some exciting news for Call of Duty fans now, as Activision has confirmed that Infinity Ward are already working on a new Call of Duty game to be released in 2011.

As reported from Eurogamer, we already knew that IW’s game was part of a three game lineup which includes Call Of Duty – Black Ops, IW’s new title and a unannounced ‘action adventure’ CoD title by Sledgehammer Games.

Activision CFO Thomas Tippl did not go into specifics on IW’s title, but did have this to say in a recent investors call:

“What we have said is that Infinity Ward is working on a Call of Duty title and you’ll hear more details as we advance through the year.”

Although Activision did not confirm this, it is likely to be Modern Warfare 3 – as Infinity Ward look to continue onwards with the next entry in the series, despite having most of their developer team whiped out.

The last we heard, is that MW3 had been delayed due to the ongoing lawsuit, but if it is in development as we speak – then it’s obviously fantastic news. Read our Featured Article here here.
