Yesterday we reported that the sighing of the NBA all-star rocking a mysterious hat had the internet abuzz on top of a photo showing Gamestop listing merchandise. Everything was loosely confirmed thanks to Call of Duty insiders but today Activision and Treyarch put the official stamp on the news. In a press release, we received Activision says the fourth installment in the top-selling COD franchise will launch worldwide Friday, October 12th.
