When you have one of the biggest game launches in 2009, everyone wants to know what the team behind it wants to do next. On Thursday, rumors hit that Infinity Ward would not be making the next game in Activision's Modern Warfare series. Now comes word via Destructoid that Infinity Ward's next game could in fact be an MMO title.

As usual, the article cites unnamed sources for its info saying that the developer has been hiring people away from major MMO developer Sony Online Entertainment. The article also claims there's some kind of collaboration with Blizzard (both developers are owned by Activision Blizzard) on this project. The article claims not to know exactly what the MMO will be all about although Activision execs have mentioned the possibility of a Call of Duty-based MMO in the past.
