After yesterday's Bungie announcement, Activision is continuing to own the news cycle this week, as they've gone and announced details for the next "Call of Duty" installment. "Call of Duty: Black Ops" is being developed by Treyarch and will release on November 9, 2010.
Information on "Call of Duty: Black Ops" has been leaking out steadily since the release of "Modern Warfare 2." Editorially we've been referring to it as "Call of Duty 7," since we haven't been able to call it anything else, but now that we know the official title at least we can be a little more specific.
In the announcement, Mark Lamia, the studio head of Treyarch, had this to say:
"We can't wait for our community to experience 'Call of Duty: Black Ops'...We have focused our entire studio on this game, with dedicated multiplayer, single-player and co-op teams creating the most intense, gripping and riveting experience possible for our fans on all fronts."
There have been rumors of the game being set in Vietnam, but the more likely scenario is that the game will be set during the time frame of Vietnam, but take place in different locations all over the world (as was the case in "Modern Warfare 2").
The first glimpse of the game will be shown on tonight's episode of GameTrailers TV, so be sure to tune in and check it out.
