CoD5, GH4 and Tony Hawks in pipeline

resh off the back of the announcement of its creation, Activision Blizzard has outlined the key titles in its star-studded lineup.

While it must be said the lineup itself contains few surprises, it’s undoubtedly strong. According to a statement released today, the new company’s line up includes James Bond, Guitar Hero IV, Call of Duty 5, a new Tony Hawk title, new DreamWorks and Marvel titles and a new racing game from Bizarre Creations.

As stated, none of those games featured on the list are exactly surprising, but it is a promising lineup all the same. As our review showed, despite being forced to change developer for the third game, the Guitar Hero franchise is still going strong.

Likewise, after the epic Call of Duty 4, it should be interesting to see whether CoD5 (whether it be developed by Infinity Ward or as seems more likely, CoD3 developers Treyarch) can build on this.

In addition to this, Bizarre Creations’ pedigree in the racing genre should all but guarantee that AB’s as yet unknown racer will be nothing short of brilliant.

If Activision Blizzard can round this off with a return to form for Tony Hawk, then things could well be looking good for the new publisher heading into 2008 and beyond.
