Black Ops 3 gets first-party publisher in Japan
Sony Japan will be the official publisher for Call of Duty Black Ops 3's Eastern release this coming November.This marks a historic occasion in the series as Call of Duty has never had a first party publisher in the country. In fact, oddly enough, their previous publisher was famed Final Fantasy creator and prominent third-party developer, Square Enix. However, with the growing interest in Western games in Japan, and Treyarch's recent partnership with Sony, this comes as no surprise.
