Activision developing new shooter IP?

Activision is cooking up a number of new shooting games including one totally new franchise, if recently discovered registered domains.

The domains include:

ActivisionSurvivalGames.com
BigGameHunterHuntingParty.com
SurvivalShadowsofKatmai.com
SurvivalVideoGame.com
TopShotSport.com

OXM speculates that many of these could be related to Activision's animal hunting Cabella series, which is more popular than it should be over in the US. TopShot is the name of the lightgun peripheral that's included with the game, so TopShot Sport may make use of that.

There's also reference to hunting another domain, pointing to a possible expansion of the Cabella series. But what is 'Shadows of Katmai'? Sounds like a new franchise to us, and with the repeated use of the word 'survival', we can only speculate that this is the likely nature of the game.

With the still-to-be-revealed Bungie game in the pipeline, it looks like Activision is busy with plenty of new treats for gamers in the coming years.
