Sony has given the game a lot of press, but the relative silence from Activision has led people to speculate that perhaps Activision was licensing the brand to Sony instead of publishing the game themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Activision has made a statement to clear this up, saying, &#8220;Activision is the publisher, but we also have a partnership with Sony to bundle Declassified with the PlayStation Vita.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They also added that while Treyarch hasn\u2019t been involved in game development, Treyarch was &#8220;consulted to ensure accuracies within the fiction&#8221;. This was necessary since the Declassified story is set in the time space between Black Ops 1 and 2.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a title=\"CVG\" href=\"http:\/\/www.computerandvideogames.com\/367091\/treyarch-not-consulting-on-black-ops-declassified-gameplay\/\" target=\"_blank\">CVG<\/a><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Related articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Sony: \u201cIt\u2019s too early for a Vita price cut\u201d\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/43260-sony-its-too-early-for-a-vita-price-cut.html\">Sony: \u201cIt\u2019s too early for a Vita price cut\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Black Ops Declassified trailer and screenshots\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/42916-black-ops-declassified-trailer-and-screenshots.html\">Black Ops Declassified trailer and screenshots<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Activision promises Declassified will deliver a \u201ctrue CoD experience\u201d\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/42757-activision-promises-declassified-will-deliver-a-true-cod-experience.html\">Activision promises Declassified will deliver a \u201ctrue CoD experience\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Activision Leeds rumoured to take over all Call of Duty mobile development\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/40917-activision-leeds-rumoured-to-take-over-all-call-of-duty-mobile-development.html\">Activision Leeds rumoured to take over all Call of Duty mobile development<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Or Infinity Ward, for that matter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165,"featured_media":42929,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,2226],"tags":[31,587,5518,23,231,6678,527,2362],"class_list":["post-44386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-mobile","tag-active","tag-activision","tag-black-ops-declassified","tag-call-of-duty","tag-infinity-ward","tag-nihilistic","tag-ps-vita","tag-treyarch"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/165"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44386"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44386\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44387,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44386\/revisions\/44387"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
