It's been announced that a "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" will be released in 2015 but a specific date has yet to be confirmed.
According to a new report by Kotaku, a Nov. 6 release date is printed on leaked promotional display for the upcoming title at GameStop. Based on the details of the marketing materials, the game will be available for Xbox One, PS4 and PC with no indication of release for older-generation consoles.

The November timeline is pretty realistic considering most games come out in November prior to the holiday season. It was also the same time the last "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" came out, specifically two days earlier on Nov. 4th.
However, IGN does note that Nov. 6 falls on a Friday, which is peculiar as most North American title releases are done on Tuesdays. It is also important to note that there is a fine print on the promo card which reads: "Actual platform availability and launch date(s) to be determined."
Based on the material display, pre-orders for the highly-anticipated title -- set to begin on Sunday -- will grant exclusive Beta access. This is the first time that Activision has held a Beta for "Call of Duty" since 2008's "Call of Duty: World of War."
The world reveal of the game by Treyarch and Activision is scheduled for April 26, which is most likely when pre-ordering for the game will open.
