Sony has let slip that the PlayStation Vita version of Call of Duty will be marching into stores this year.
Chatting to GameTrailers, senior vice president for PlayStation brand marketing Guy Longsworth said Activision's blockbuster shooter series will hit PS Vita in autumn, promising it will be an "absolute game-changer".
Little is known about the PS Vita version of Call of Duty, with no indication yet of whether it will be a conversion of a home console title or an entirely new experience.
However, a fully-fledged Call of Duty game will likely be a massive boon for the new system, with last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 shattering all entertainment industry records with its billion-dollar launch in November 2011.
PS Vita's library is already looking well-stocked in terms of big-name franchises, with Uncharted: Golden Abyss, FIFA Football, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and WipEout 2048 all among the launch titles.
Meanwhile, new PS Vita entries in the Silent Hill, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed and Street Fighter franchises are all on the way soon.
