Call of Duty: Ghosts confirmed for Wii U

Activision Publishing today confirmed that Call of Duty: Ghosts will launch on the Wii U November 5 alongside the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC versions.

Call of Duty: Ghosts for the Wii U will include Wii Remote and GamePad support, though Activision did not provide any further details.

The news came as part of Activision's announcement that it will launch six titles for the Wii U this fall. In addition to Call of Duty: Ghosts, the publisher will release the Angry Birds Trilogy (August 13), Skylanders Swap Force (October 13), Angry Birds Star Wars (October 29), SpongeBob SquarePants: Plankton's Robotic Revenge (fall), and Wipeout: Create & Crash (fall).

"As we have said before, we're committed to doing everything we can to support the Wii U, which is why we're excited to be bringing some of the most popular entertainment franchises in the world to the platform this year," Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said in a statement.

The Wii U has struggled thus far, selling 3.45 million units across the world since launch. Nintendo hopes to revitalize the platform when it ships a number of marquee first-party titles, beginning next month with Pikmin 3.
