According to a confidential source close to That VideoGame Blog, Activision has been pursing licenses for Vietnam War-era music, as well as Cuban, Soviet Union and African music.
The publisher has also confirmed that Treyarch will be the developer for the next Call of Duty title after Call of Duty: World at War senior producer Noahr Heller was brought onboard for the next game in the series. This maintains Activision's usual trade-off between two studios as Infinity Ward is developing Modern Warfare 2, to be released in six months.
That VideoGame Blog continues to point out that Heller himself told Official Xbox Magazine that Call of Duty: World at War was the last World War II title in the franchise.
"I won't let your readers read into the comment too much, but we are showing the final battles of the Pacific and the European Theatre and that lets us put a close to the war. I'm sure game companies will be making World War II games for years to come and World War II is a very classic war. But we're happy that we put the war to bed."
When asked what Activision made of these reports, they replied with the usual "Activision doesn't comment on rumor and speculation."
