Earlier in the year Activision announced it would be launching a new online Call of Duty game as a free-to-play game in China.
This week Activision registered CallofDuty.com and CallofDuty.net using simplified Chinese characters — 使命召唤.com and 使命召唤.net.
While nothing concrete has been announced by the company and very little information has been given out, the registrations could be signs of a possible launch in the near future.
Here are the punycode versions of the domain registrations (使命召唤.com) and (使命召唤.net).
