Activision has officially revealed that Call of Duty 5, Guitar Hero 4 and a new Tony Hawk's game are in "the pipeline".
Tucked away in a fact sheet (http://www.vivendi.com/corp/en/Activision_Blizzard/fichiers/20071203_EN_factSheet.pdf) explaining the mega-merger between Activision and Vivendi is the little nugget revealing that sequels to three of 2007's biggest games are in the works.
We all assumed that the sequels were inevitable, but this is the first time we have seen official confirmation from the game's publisher, Activision. Call of Duty 4 (http://www.videogamer.com/call_of_duty_4_modern_warfare/) is currently riding high in the charts and enjoying stellar review scores. Guitar Hero 3 (http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/guitar_hero_iii/) is selling amazingly internationally, and DLC is already in place to keep gamers interested. It's an important time for the Tony Hawk (http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/tony_hawks_proving_ground/) series too, with renewed pressure from excellent alternative Skate. Sequels to all three are likely to be key titles for the newly formed company.
As well as that, the fact sheet details already semi-confirmed news that it is developing "new DreamWorks titles, new Marvel titles and entry into racing with Bizarre", the development studio responsible for the Project Gotham Racing series.
Speculating, the new DreamWorks titles will probably be games based on upcoming and existing DreamWorks films, such as Kung-Fu Panda and Shrek Goes Fourth.
The new Marvel titles could be absolutely anything, but we'd like to see a sequel to Marvel Ultimate Alliance. And while it's a safe bet to say there will be more Spider-man games, how about a decent licensed game based off the upcoming Wolverine movie?
As for the entry into racing with Bizarre, we know it won't come under the name PGR, because Microsoft owns the franchise, but if it's anywhere near as good as the 360 classic we'll be happy.
