Note for title: For those who don't know how it works, fiscal years start at April of the year prior. For example, the 2008 fiscal year started on April 1st, 2007 and ends on April 1st, 2008.
Activision has recently revealed record breaking earnings for 2007 (fiscal 2008). Because of this, they have announced that they are going to belt out a "full slate" of new games for fiscal 2009 driven by their most popular titles. They announced that a new call of duty and guitar hero are already in the works, as well as more downloadable content for the current call of duty and guitar hero titles. The new call of duty title has not been confirmed as to whether it will be modern of WW2 but it has been confirmed for PS2 and Wii. Two new Guitar Hero games were confirmed for the period between April 1 and June 30, 2008, but other than that, no details were discussed. Also announced, Activision's first James Bond game. Can Activision bring the greatness from Goldeneye back to Bond video games, or will they be another failure to Bond titles? Activision says that fiscal 2009 will consist of their largest Nintendo slate ever. "Activision stated that work was underway on the next Tony Hawk skateboarding game, including research and testing, and that the company would be "re-engineering the franchise…there will be a new direction for the brand." " This is probably because Tony Hawk's Proving Grounds was a massive failure. Lastly, they have announced that a new Spider-man title is in the works as well as a sequel to Marvel's Ultimate Alliance. I don't know about you but I am excited for just about everything mentioned here. Let's just hope that they don't bite off more that they can chew and the record breaking profits show through these titles.
