Activision Blizzard may have let key players on the Infinity Ward team slip through its fingers, but the company sure isn't done with the Call of Duty franchise.

Treyarch, developer of 2008's Call of Duty: World at War, said Friday that it will release the next game in the series, Call of Duty: Black Ops, on November 9.

The game's official website reveals no plot, setting or theme. There are no screenshots. More information should be forthcoming soon, since the game's trailer is set to debut tonight at 12:40 a.m. Eastern on GameTrailers TV.

Treyarch is something of a utility player for Activision Blizzard. The development team has worked on a handful of Call of Duty games as well as sports and licensed movie games.
