Activision's
quarterly conference call with company execs revealed some that Quake IV is
still scheduled for release in the fiscal 2006 time period, as is Lionhead
Studios's movie studio sim title The Movies. More precise info on those release
dates was not revealed:
The company also increased its outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2005 to $150 million in net revenues from $128 million, despite moving id
Software's DOOM 3 for the Xbox and the DOOM 3 PC expansion pack to fiscal
2006. For the fourth quarter, the company expects earnings per diluted share
of $0.01. During the quarter, Activision plans to release Spider-Man 2 and Tony
Hawk's Underground 2 Remix for the PSP simultaneously with the North American
release of the new handheld platform, as well as, three titles from LucasArts
that will be released in Europe - Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The
Sith Lords, Mercenaries and Star Wars Republic Commando. In addition, Shrek 2
will be first of the company's fiscal 2005 games to enter Sony Computer
Entertainment America's "Greatest Hits," Microsoft's "Platinum Family Hits" and
Nintendo of America's "Player's Choice" programs.
In fiscal 2006 (which begins on April 1, 2005), we will release the
strongest game slate in our history which includes new versions of our
top-selling fiscal 2005 franchises -- Tony Hawk, Spider-Man, Shrek, Call of
Duty, DOOM, and X-Men, as
well as games based on True Crime, Fantastic Four, Madagascar, Quake, The
Movies, and an original new property from Neversoft, the development
team behind the Tony Hawk series."
