Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified developer changes name, goes mobile

The developer of Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is reorganizing to focus on downloadable and mobile games. Nihilistic Software announced on its website last night that it will become nStigate Software, a smaller studio which will move away from the retail space.

LightBox Interactive, another formerly Sony-contracted developer, yesterday announced 24 layoffs and a similar change in focus from consoles to mobile.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is scheduled to launch on PlayStation Vita alongside Black Ops 2 on November 13.

Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
