Activision has more or less officially announced a new Call of Duty game for consoles, to be released late this year.

Activision (NYSE: ATVI - News) will be enlisting gamers in an all new tour of duty this fall with its latest Call of DutyTM game for the consoles. The company will develop the new title using its internal studios Gray Matter, the developer of Call of Duty: United OffensiveTM, and Treyarch, creators of the popular Spider-ManTM series.

We are however cautioned, that the intention to release such a game may well change at any time. Nothing new there then. I'd suspect we may get an announcement about the next PC game in the franchise very shortly too. But as usual, I could be and probably am wrong.
