Activision's two key Call of Duty studios, Treyarch and Infinity Ward, have not been involved with the gameplay development of the PS Vita shooter Declassified.

This led to some suspicions that Activision was not publishing the game but instead licensing the brand to Sony. To clarify the matter, Activision issued a statement to CVG explaining:
"Activision is the publisher, but we also have a partnership with Sony to bundle Declassified with the PlayStation Vita."
It added that, with Declassified story taking place in the timeline between the original Black Ops and Black Ops II, Treyarch was "consulted to ensure accuracies within the fiction".
The Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified release date is set for November.
