Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, revealed the news when the company made public their financial results for the first quarter of 2010.
He said: "2010 is off to a strong start, thanks in large part to the performance of How To Train Your Dragon, which - having grossed nearly $375 million to date in worldwide box office - has become DreamWorks Animation's next franchise. We plan to release the sequel theatrically in 2013."
Katzenberg also reiterated his belief that the 3D format, which was utilised for Dragon, will continue to have "a tremendous impact on the industry at large".
DreamWorks releases its next animation, Shrek Forever After, on May 21 in the US and July 9 in the UK.
