CoD: Modern Warfare 2 confirmed

As are sequels to Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, a new Bond game and racer from Bizarre.

MTV Multiplayer reports that Activision Blizzard has confirmed a string of new game titles at a Massive Inc. upfront - an event where publishers showcase their line-up to advertisers.

Games rolled out hoping to secure in-game advertising included Guitar Hero 5 and a new Tony Hawk complete with all-new controller-less gameplay (you won't be holding a standard controller in your hands) with a release set for October 2009 on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and DS.

Activision also confirmed a new title in the Call of Duty franchise, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 due for release in the autumn of 09.

MTV also reports that Bizarre Creations (PGR and Geometry Wars) is working on a racing-focussed James Bond game that isn't tied to a movie storyline. This is said to be lined-up for a September 2009 release. The studio is also reported to be working on an original racing title described as Mario Kart meets Forza.
