CoD: Modern Warfare 2 Coming This Holiday
Written By: Gerald Villoria
According to Activision CFO Thomas Tippl (via Kotaku), Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is "looking incredible" and will be in stores for this year's holiday season.
Activision Blizzard's CFO was presenting at the Wedbush Morgan Securities annual meeting when he made the announcement. Tippl said that Activision's strategy for "leap-frogging development" between two developers has been paying out with back-to-back blockbusters.
"Last year we had probably beaten most expert expectations by growing the Call of Duty franchise over the tremendous success that was the first iteration of Modern Warfare," Tippl said. "For 2008, Modern Warfare is coming back, we expect it will be the most anticipated game of the year. Perhaps the number one game of the year despite the fact that it's only going to launch in the holiday season."
He continued, "There is no doubt in my mind that it will again raise the bar for the shooter genre. The game is looking incredible and Infinity Ward, the studio that is developing it, is just doing an unbelievable job."
