"A new Call of Duty will be released in 2013, Activision has confirmed. Speaking to investors, Activision CFO Dennis Durkin said that the game would &amp;quot;set the bar for innovation&amp;quot;, but warned that sales would likely be impacted by the arrival of next-gen consoles.   &amp;quot;The Call of Duty franchise continues to set the bar for innovation and we expect a new Call of Duty game in development for 2013 to raise that bar even higher,&amp;quot; Durkin explained. &amp;quot;There is increased volatility this year due to the ongoing console transition, which makes predicting the future more challenging than during normal uses in the cycle. &amp;quot;For Call of Duty, consistent with our past practices, we are planning for the main line release in Q4 to be down versus 2012.&amp;quot;  With Black Ops 2 launching last November, this year&amp;#039;s release is likely to be a new entry in the Modern Warfare series.  Black Ops 2 was named as the UK&amp;#039;s best-selling game of 2012, edging out FIFA 13 at the top. It was the fastest Call of Duty game to generate $1 billion, securing the amount in just 15 days. However, it was previously reported that Black Ops 2 sales were down 20% on last year&amp;#039;s Call of Duty. Despite shifting fewer units, Black Ops 2 generated $500 million in 24 hours, making it the highest-earning day-one Call of Duty title to date. Black Ops 2 is available on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U and PC. &amp;gt; Read our &amp;#039;Black Ops 2&amp;#039; review &amp;gt; Launch guide: Everything you need to know about &amp;#039;Black Ops 2&amp;#039; Watch a preview trailer for the &amp;#039;Revolution&amp;#039; map pack below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
