Call of Duty: Ghosts, the next-generation version of the popular first-person shooter series, will have sequences in which players control the specially trained dog named Riley.

Call of Duty: Ghosts was revealed to the world last month, and the first actual details surfaced a few weeks ago during the Xbox One presentation.

Now, during a special All Access event, publisher Activision and developer Infinity Ward revealed a few more details about the game.

First up, the companies confirmed that the already famous dog that will be present in Call of Duty: Ghosts is called Riley, after Modern Warfare 2's Simon "Ghost" Riley.

What's more, thanks to the more advanced technology in the game's near future, players can take control of Riley during special sequences, watching footage from a camera mounted on his tactical vest and sending input through certain vibrating motors also found on the vest.

No other details were shared, but fans should expect to hear more about Call of Duty: Ghosts as we get closer to the game's launch in November.
