On February 7th, 2013, Activision held its fourth quarter (Q4) Conference Call. They posted slides from the conference call online , which referenced a "Call of Duty 2013" game.
Activision Chief Financial Offer, Dennis Durkin, eventually confirmed that a new Call of Duty game is in development and set for release in Q4 of 2013:
“The Call of Duty franchise continues to set the bar for innovation and we expect the new Call of Duty game in development for 2013 to raise that bar even higher.”
He also emphasized that predicting the exact release date, as well as other aspects of game development, is trickier this year given the console transitions (Sony is rumored to give more information about the PS3's successor in the coming month, and Xbox is set to launch the 360's successor later in 2013).
Activision did not give any information on the game itself (e.g., plot, game developer, stage of development, etc.), though the announcement isn't too surprising given the Call of Duty trend to release a new game about every year. Several gaming news websites jumped on the 2/7/13 announcement, including callofduty.com, IGN , charlieintel.com, and CVG to name a few.
There are rumors that the new Call of Duty game is Modern Warfare 4, or at least that it continues the Modern Warfare story arc in some fashion. Some argue that this isn't likely given the conclusive nature of MW3's ending, but only time will tell.
Stay tuned for more updates on the announced "Call of Duty 2013."
