According to a report by LATimes, Activision are pulling out all the stops to get the next game in the Call of Duty series, Modern Warfare 3, developed and ready for a November, 2011 release date. The game has not been officially announced by Activision yet but the title is well into production and is expected to come out in November, the same month that the publisher has annually released a new Call of Duty installment, people with knowledge of situation said.

People “close to the matter” told LATimes that Activision have three studios knee-deep in Modern Warfare 3, one of which has been pulled off of development of another Call of Duty game. Sledgehammer are currently working with Modern Warfare 2 developers Infinity Ward on the single player portion of the game, while Singularity developers Raven are lending a hand with the multiplayer part of the shooter.

Due to the developer collaboration, sources said the Call of Duty spin-off project in development at Sledgehammer, rumored to be set in the future, has now been put on hold.

When contacted for a comment in response to the LATimes piece an Activision spokesman said… “There’s been much specultion recently. We look forward to releasing details for the next Call of Duty in the near future.”
