Call of Duty: World at War (Call of Duty 5), the fifth title in the franchise, hasn't even been released yet and some of us (including me) are still busy playing Call of Duty 4 (it's greatness, it really is), but that didn't stop Activision from announcing during a recent conference that Call of Duty 6 is already in the making, will be shipping in 2009 and is developed by Infinity Ward (devs of CoD, CoD2 and CoD4).

We don't know any more about the game by now, so we can't give you information about the setting, the engine, the systems it will be released on or anything else. But probably this is the right time to revive an old rumor from June this year, which was about Infinity Ward presumably being busy with developing a sci-fi game. I personally find it hard to believe that Call of Duty 6 could send us into a sci-fionesque scenario, but then again: Infinity Ward have already brought the series to new shores by putting it into a modern context with Call of Duty 4, so why not do it again and go one step further? Or maybe they are working on two completely different games?

We will most probably find out more about this shortly after the shipping of Call of Duty 5.
