Following its announcement at the E3 in June this year, Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified has been granted its first trailer which debuted at the ongoing gamescom. Little was known about this game when it was first announced in February 2012, and even at the E3, only its name was disclosed without any new details.
But we now have official information coming in straight from Activision. This game is being developed for the PS Vita by Nihilistic Software, the same studio that crafted Resistance: Burning Skies. It has been confirmed that familiar factors from the CoD series like create-a-class, perks and prestige levels will be seen making their way into Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified.
“The dev team is making sure that Declassified takes advantage of key PS Vita features, too. The game will use the touchscreen for melee attacks, and for chucking grenades at your foes, and will even let you share loadouts with your friends via Near technology. Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is due out this November, so you don’t have too long to wait to try it yourself,” Dan Amrich, Community Manager, Activision, wrote on the official PlayStation blog.
The single-player campaign in Declassified will proffer covert missions that will be set between the original Black Ops and the forthcoming Black Ops II. It will also feature multiplayer modes with support for up to eight players over Wi-Fi. Modes like 4v4 Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed and Drop Zone will be present, while others will be revealed later on.
The Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified release date is still under wraps, but the game has been confirmed for a November launch. Moreover, a limited edition PS Vita hardware bundle is also on the cards, and is set to be unveiled in the months to come.
