Activision has denied that it is to unveil Modern Warfare 3 next week.

Speaking to IGN, the publisher branded the countdown website findmakarov - which released the reports - as a "hoax".

"There seems to be a great deal of speculation about the next Call Of Duty project," said a company spokesperson. "Let me be clear that we are not revealing yet. Anything indicating otherwise is a hoax."

When asked whether the studio is planning to reveal anything next week, the representative replied, "Nope".

The findmakarov site appeared online yesterday hosting a countdown pointing to next Wednesday. It also included an image of Modern Warfare 2 character Shepard and the tagline 'End the War'.

Furthermore, That VideoGame Blog and Joystiq both received promotional dog tags - allegedly from Activision - bearing the website's URL.

It has been speculated that Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer and Raven Software are all collaborating on the next Modern Warfare title.
