Activision was planning on revealing the next game in the Call of Duty franchise during the NBA Playoffs later today. We will still have that trailer for you when it is released, but we've gotten some early goodies in the form of a leak. We now proudly present you with the first screenshots of Call of Duty Black Ops 2, along with an official release date.

This information comes courtesy of Activision's official Call of Duty website, which has since been taken down. The sleuths at Joystiq were fast enough to grab a few screen captures of the site for proof, one of which will be embedded below.

Now, without any further delay, here are the first few screenshots captured from the game. Let us know what you think in the comments.

It looks like the next Black Ops will be taking a decidedly futuristic approach. I, for one, think this is pretty cool. It's been rumored that a futuristic setting was in CoD's future, but I didn't think we'd actually be seeing it anytime soon since the modern setting was proving so lucrative for the franchise.

Along with the screenshots, Activision's official website revealed the relase date of the game. You will be able to get your hands on Call of Duty Black Ops 2 on November 13, 2012.
