Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith revealed the publisher’s plans for the Call of Duty series in a company call to investors a few days ago. Call of Duty 4 has doubled the franchise’s user base and helped drive the company’s record $2.9 billion revenue the past year.

As for Call of Duty 5, here’s what he had to say: “We’ll bring the intensity of the recent Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare title to a new military theatre, to engage our significantly larger user base which nearly doubled last year.” Could we be seeing Call of Duty 5: Future Warfare after all or is it a reference to the Pacific War in WWII perhaps?

Mr. Griffith reaffirmed that Call of Duty 5 will be a multiplatform release this year. “We’ll launch on all four platforms we’ve participated on in fiscal [year] 2008,” he said referring to Call of Duty 4, which sold over 7 million units worldwide on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Nintendo DS in 2007. Griffiths then re-confirmed that “we’ll [also] launch on the PS2 and the Wii,” marking the series’ return to the PS2 and Wii after a two-year hiatus,” quotes Kotaku
