A new Call of Duty game will launch in 2014, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has confirmed during an earnings call discussing the company's recent financial results for the quarter ended September 30.
No details about the new Call of Duty title was provided. Call of Duty studios Treyarch and Sledgehammer Games are believed to be working on new entries in the series. Whether it'll be "Black Ops III" or something else entirely remains to be seen.
Sledgehammer's new Call of Duty game--aiming for "hyper-realism"--will reportedly feature a "fresh new AAA aural experience." Meanwhile, Treyarch created the Black Ops sub-brand.
Also during the call, Kotick said Activision continues to work with Chinese Internet giant Tencent on Call of Duty Online, a free-to-play entry in the series in development for China.
Call of Duty: Ghosts, developed by Infinity Ward, was released Tuesday on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii U. Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions will follow later this month at launch. The game generated $1 billion at retail on launch day. The $1 billion for Call of Duty: Ghosts reflects sell-in – that is, the number of copies of Call of Duty: Ghosts shipped to retailers. Put another way, retailers expect that this number of copies will provide them with a sensible balance of risk between overstock and running out of copies in individual stores.
