Activision promises "meaningful innovation" in the next Call of Duty
Hirschberg is excited by the way this year's effort is shaping up
Many would say that the Call of Duty series has seen little real innovation (Call of Duty Elite not withstanding) since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
The new social networking service, Call of Duty Elite, which is arguably the series largest innovation in recent times runs alongside Modern Warfare 3 but has only really begun to change how Call of Duty players interact with each other outside of the actual gameplay experience.
Eric Hirschberg, Activision Publishing's CEO, has promised investors that the next Call of Duty title will present what is shaping up to be some exciting innovations for the series.
He said, "This year, we expect to further expand our presence with the launch of an all-new epic first-person shooter title under the Call Of Duty brand. From what we've seen, it already looks fantastic and will bring meaningful innovation to the franchise. I could not be more excited."
Hirschberg also promised more innovations for Call of Duty Elite adding, "We plan to keep our foot on the gas with Call Of Duty: Elite. Although we are pleased with where we are today, the obective of Elite is to make the total Call Of Duty experience more fun and more engaging, and we plan to launch additional features in the next 60 days. We're already hard at work on Elite 2.0, with several innovative features being developed to work hand in hand with our next Call Of Duty release."
