Activision Creating Third Call of Duty Team

cod-sesame-street

If ever you wanted more proof that Activision just can’t get enough of the Call of Duty franchise, here it is. It now seems that two dedicated teams and a yearly sequel release isn’t enough for the publishers overactive CoD drive.

The tail end of a LA Times article discussing the sheer magnitude of Activision’s Modern Warfare 2 launch reveals that, in addition to Infinity Ward and Treyarch, a third mystery team has been signed to create yet another CoD release. Could Activision seriously be toying with the idea of releasing a semi-annual Call of Duty title? The option would allow them to offer three flavors of CoD; past, present, and future.

A source close to the matter believes that a massively multi-player version of the game is being considered as well. Call of Duty MMO anyone? The possibilities really are limitless considering Activision’s propensity to milk its franchises like a little kid trying to suck every last drop of their beverage through a straw until you finally scream out “STOP THAT!”

We’ve sent an email off to Activision requesting a comment and will definitely update you the moment we hear back.

    Activision sucks for the immense milking. Same goes for Square Enix and the Final Fantasy franchise.

    i don’t think it’s to release more yearly games. i think we will see 1 infinity ward CoD game every 3 years. allowing more time for development.

    so IW,trey,anon,IW,trey,anon.

    that or it’s IW/treyarch make ps3/360 games and anon ports them to wii.

    Or Activsion could be preparing for IW possibly stepping away from the COD franchise and moving on to something different. They’ve made a similar jump in the past.

    @ Your Brother :) – What kind of an idiot compares Final Fantasy to Call Of Duty? Last time i checked there wasn’t a major FF installment released on a yearly basis. Do some research.

    YAY! Farmer Activision got a new cow to milk! Seriously though, these guys need to stop signing on people for CoD games, IW is the best, while Treyarch only serves to hold us over for a new IW game. And now we’ve got a third company? Can’t wait for Call of Duty Revolutionary war.

    Actually CoD: Revolutionary War sounds pretty interesting.

    can i have a mission where i debate the continental congress?
