Activision has detailed Call of Duty: Black Ops 2‘s official launch event for the U.K. which will take place in HMV’s Oxford Street branch in London.

The event is scheduled to begin at 10pm next Monday, November 12, with the game set to go on sale at midnight. HMV is expecting over 1,000 fans to turn up to the event. The event will feature product signings, multiplayer tournaments, and a “Zombie bus stop featuring exciting props from the game as well as an in store Zombie invasion.” Every attendee will also receive a collectible goodie bag.

“This is undoubtedly the games release of the year, which is great news not just for fans but retailers alike as we head into Christmas,” said HMV’s category manager for games Andy Pinder.

Matthew Bennett finally got his big break with EGM three years ago, following years of volunteer work for various sites. An ability to go many hours without sleep and a quick wit make him ideal for his role as associate editor at EGMNOW.com. He often thinks back to the days when the very idea of this career seemed like nothing but an impossible dream. Follow him on Twitter @mattyjb89. Meet the rest of the crew.
