Following months of speculation and leaks, Activision today officially announced Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and launched the game’s official website ahead of today’s full reveal at the US NBA Playoffs tonight.

There’s a “Worldwide Reveal” trailer on the site, although it is currently unwatchable, suggesting the site may not have been ready to go live just yet.

The game’s pre-order information reveals that it’s set in a near-future, 21st century Cold War, where technology and weapons have converged to create a new generation of warfare.

“Pushing the boundaries of what fans have come to expect from the record-setting entertainment franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 propels players into a near future, 21st Century Cold War, where technology and weapons have converged to create a new generation of warfare,” reads the game’s preorder page.

The website does confirm though was the already expected release date of November 13.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is set to be announced for the first time during the NBA Playoffs tonight in the US. All will be official unveiled tonight US time or early tomorrow morning for UK or mainland Europe.

Black Ops 2 is expected to release on November 13, 2012 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
