Activision reveals its main gaming titles of fiscal 2008. Credit: ActivisionSpecifically, leading third-party videogame publisher Activision has this week revealed that a new Call of Duty title and not one, not two, but three Guitar Hero offerings will be gracing multiple platforms before the end of fiscal 2008 (March 31, 2009).Shifting its IP profit squeezing into overdrive, Activision has outlined that two of its new Guitar Hero titles will be available by July, while the third is pencilled in for an autumn arrival.Very little is currently known about the new edition of Call of Duty. However, current chatter does suggest Activision will now alternate Call of Duty productions between Infinity Ward (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare) and Treyarch (Call of Duty 3). Given that Call of Duty 4 was last out of the gate, we’d hedge our bets on Treyarch helming the new title with a return to World War II as the most likely setting.Other Activision titles set to tempt gamers during 2008 include a new Tony Hawk skateboarding title built on the back of player feedback and improved innovation. Also, Marvel fans can expect another Spider-Man game and even a follow up to Ultimate Alliance -- with Christmas being a sweet spot for release.And there’s more, a brand new James Bond game will arrive in time to bolster the Hollywood performance of Daniel Craig’s latest outing as England’s favourite super spy in the oddly titled "Quantum of Solace.”Finally, knee-high gamers should also get a little movie tie-in love from uncle Activision later this year (summer months) with the likes of Madagascar 2 and Kung Fu Panda both confirmed.
