Activision has announced Call of Duty 3 for next-generation consoles, and it will be developed by Treyarch.

Activision has announced that Treyarch, the team behind Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, will be helming Call of Duty 3. The game is coming to next-gen consoles, and based on the logos appearing at the end of the Call of Duty 3 trailer, it seems that all three consoles (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii) will be receiving a version of the game.

Call of Duty 2 has been an astounding success on the Xbox 360 and this may be one of the reasons why a PC version of Call of Duty 3 has not been announced - after all, money talks. According to a statement released by Activision, Call of Duty 3 will follow four allied soldiers "as they fight through the Normandy Breakout, the harrowing offensive that liberated Paris and changed the fate of the world."

Call of Duty 3 is scheduled for release at the end of the year, and should be making an appearance in some form at E3 later this week. Call of Duty 2 is also very much alive and kicking with nine new maps scheduled for release in the coming months, the first four of which should be released shortly.
