Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has made it official that Call of Duty Online is in development and expected to begin beta trials later this year in China. He made the announcement with Chinese Internet services provider Tencent Holdings Limited, which has a multi-year agreement to operate the free-to-play game there. Call of Duty Online is an original multiplayer game, developed especially for the Chinese market.
