Activision Blizzard talks 2009 lineup, including Modern Warfare 2, Singularity

Activision Blizzard has a lot on its plate for 2009. Other than completely burying you in Guitar Hero games, the company plans to unleash its set of unique IPs this year, as detailed during its recent conference call. Let's go over them!

First up, we should all expect Prototype sometime during this year (June!). The head of Activision publishing also confirmed that "first-person action game" Singularity would see release in 2009, as would Bizarre Creations' unannounced, "Mario Kart meets Forza" racing title. Don't want any of that new stuff? Fear not, a little game called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is releasing this year, too!

So, there you have it! All of the fun stuff from a financial earnings call, without those pesky numbers getting in your way.

dang with making LBP levels, destroying COD:WAW players, fragging killzone 2 players, god of war 3 (2009?), uncharted 2, and cod:modern warfare 2, i won't have any free time at all. and maybe if the money gods feel generous, a 360 and left 4 dead.

Modern Warfare 2...officially my most anticipated game this year,...and I haven't seen a single pixel of it yet. hehe

FNG @ Feb 11th 2009 6:19PM

Yep. I haven't even tried WAW. COD4 is where it's at until COD6.

Hope they add co-op in MW2.

Obie @ Feb 11th 2009 6:52PM

@Brian, agreed, that would be icing on the cake.

Lennoko @ Feb 11th 2009 8:34PM

It'd be nice if Blizzard actually started releasing things that weren't warcraft related...

OUT FREAKIN STANDING !!! I HAVE EVERY C.O.D. EVER MADE. THEY ARE ALL TOP SHELF AND FAR EXCEEDS EVERYTHING IN THE GAMING WORLD (FIRST SHOOTER THAT IS). IF I HAD ANYTHING TO DO ABOUT IT i WOULD RE-DO ALL C.O.D. GAMES FROM PS 2 AND RE-FORMAT THEM TO BE PLAYED W/ PS 3 (& THE OTHERS), IN ADDITION I WOULD HAVE THREE OR FOUR RELEASED EVERY YEAR. WHAT CAN I SAY - I AM A C.O.D. ADDICT
HOWEVER I AM REALLY PISSED AT SONY TO MISLEAD THE PUBLIC THAT IF YOU UPGRADE TO 80 OR 160GB YOU CAN PS2 GAMES - DONT BELIEVE IT - NO PS3 PLATFORMS CAN DO THIS UNLESS YOU BUY AN OLDER MODEL NUMBER. THEY SHOULD BE ASAMED OF THEMSELVES!!!
