Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith recently confirmed that Infinity Ward will be returning to the franchise next year in Call of Duty 6.

While previous reports of the next CoD title after Call of Duty: World at War have already been slated for 2009, it was only during the today's Activision Blizzard Analyst Day event that the participation of Infinity Ward as its developer was confirmed.

Griffith also mentioned that Activision will be following a "leapfrog strategy" of alternating developers for the next titles. No further details regarding CoD 6 were revealed, although the good news is that Call of Duty: World at War will soon be arriving for the many fans of the series. The fifth installment of the wartime FPS will be arriving on November 5 for the PlayStation3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, and DS.

at least for me, and I thought it had already been announced. One of the devs regulars a forum I visit and he already mentioned they would continue the series after cod5.

I'm pretty sure it was confirmed since IW themselves said it. Hell, even one dev on youtube mentioned that they'll be doing COD6 in his Vlog. This is old news. Just like what skidz said as well.
