Yep, Another Call of Duty is on the Way Next YearActivision confirms 2012 will not be Call of Duty-less.

What would be truly surprising to hear one of these days is that a new Call of Duty game won't be coming out the following year. That won't be the case this year as -- to almost literally no one's surprise -- Activision is planning to have a new Call of Duty out in 2012.
While everyone's attention is currently directed towards Modern Warfare 3 with it having launched today, development on the next entry in the series is no doubt well underway. Its existence was confirmed during an investors conference call today as CEO Bobby Kotick stated both it and two Blizzard games (one being Diablo III) will be out next year.
With the pattern we've seen in the past, 2012's Call of Duty is likely to be in development at Treyarch. The Black Ops developer has alternated Call of Duty entries with Infinity Ward for years now, having developed Call of Duty 3 in 2006, World at War in 2008, and Black Ops in 2010. In 2009 it also released a Wii version of Infinity Ward title Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare known as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex. This year it handled the Wii version of Modern Warfare 3.
There had been plans for Sledgehammer Games to develop an action/adventure Call of Duty game (in the framework of an FPS, naturally), although with its efforts having recently been spent supporting Infinity Ward on Modern Warfare 3, it's now less likely to ever come to fruition.
Call of Duty 3 and World at War were each set in World War II, while Black Ops jumped ahead to the Cold War. What time period do you think the next game could cover? Will it finally be set in space, or is the moon setting for a Black Ops Zombies map as far as that will go for now? Let us know in the comments below.
