The pop culture phenomenon Call of Duty franchise continues to realize massive success, and Activision is poised to have the largest merchandising program to date based on product category and global expansion. This year Black Ops is back!

A robust apparel line is at the center of the merchandising program, designed to appeal to a massive global audience of gamers.
