I really hope it's a new engine and not just a slightly improved version...

If it was slightly improved they wouldn't exactly be calling it "next-generation" would they?

I just wonder if they'll be able to maintain the 60FPS on current-gen....

Next generation because that's the engine they'll be using from then on. Doesn't automatically mean that it's a huge improvement.
No Call of Duty developer ever created a new engine from the ground up. They are all just adding minor to medium sized improvements to an engine from 1999 year after year.


Though maybe they'll be using this one:

Obviously that's the one they'll be using. Whether that is a big improvement/upgrade to the current engine doesn't matter. It looks great. Graphics aren't what makes COD fun anyway. They definitely help though.
