Call of Duty 5 set for six platforms

Tony Hawk may be taking a bit of a break, but it seems Activision has other plans for the Call of Duty series as they will be making COD5 available for six different platforms (PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, Nintendo DS and PS2) when released later this year.

Activision publishing president and CEO Mike Griffith comments: “For Call of Duty, we’re bringing the intensity of the recent Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare title to yet a new military theatre to engage our significantly larger user base which nearly doubled last year”

As we already know Infinity Ward will not be involved in this version, and Treyarch will instead be taking the reigns for the PS3 and Xbox 360 efforts. It is not known if they will also develop the PC, Wii, Nintendo DS and PS2 version, or if they will be farmed out to other studios.

Furthermore, it is believed the plot of the game will once again be set World War II for COD5, but to change things up a bit will instead place more emphases on the Pacific Campaign rather than remaining in Western Europe this time round.
