Activision has today confirmed the first details of Call of Duty 3, which is in development by Treyarch for Xbox 360, PlayStation3, Wii, Xbox and PlayStation2. The game, which is set for release in the Autumn, follows the story of four sets of Allied soldiers (American, British, Canadian, and Polish) as they launch their breakout from Normandy in 1944.
Call of Duty 3 will be the second time that Treyarch has developed a CoD title, the first being 2005"s Big Red One on Xbox and PlayStation2, and will mark the franchise"s debut on PS3 and Wii. Perhaps more controversially for Call of Duty fans, it will mark the first time that a "main" installment of the series won"t be making an appearance on the PC. The game will also see team-based and vehicular multiplayer gametypes of up to twenty-four gamers, along with different soldier classes and specific abilities.
