Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Launch Trailer Released by Activision

Written by Brandon Hofer on October 26, 2020

News: The launch trailer for one of the most popular games of 2020 has just been released, a couple of weeks before the game arrives in stores.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War launches in a little over two weeks on current and next-gen platforms. To help celebrate the occasion they have released the launch trailer to give you a small glimpse of what to expect in this year’s Call of Duty title. This year Raven Software is bringing us the campaign where you will come face to face with historical figures as you battle around the globe.

“It’s an honor to develop an all-new story for Call of Duty: Black Ops players,” said Dan Vondrak, Sr. Creative Director, Raven Software. “Black Ops Cold War picks up right after the original, dropping players into a conspiracy-filled thrill ride set in the 1980s. Fighting alongside fan favorite-characters like Woods, Mason and Hudson, players will battle to uncover the truth. Everything isn’t what it seems, as players' choices help shape the outcome of the narrative. We cannot wait for fans to experience it themselves.”

“Black Ops Cold War is not only a celebration of what makes the Black Ops series special, but it’s also a new beginning for the next generation of players,” said Mark Gordon, Co-Studio Head, Treyarch. “As developers, being able to bring this kind of experience to a new generation of consoles is an incredible opportunity.”

“Today is only the start,” continued Treyarch Co-Studio Head Dan Bunting. “Treyarch will deliver a connected, next-generation Multiplayer, as well as a new Zombies experience – say nothing of our plans to expand and extend Call of Duty: Warzone with new experiences for all. There’s much more to come!”

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War fuses elements of 1980s pop culture through a mind-bending conspiracy story, where deception and subterfuge are the norm. In this sequel to the original Call of Duty: Black Ops, players encounter historic figures and learn hard truths as they battle around the globe through iconic locales like East Berlin, Turkey, Vietnam, Soviet-era Moscow, and more. As elite operatives, players attempt to stop a plot decades in the making as they follow the trail of a shadowy figure named Perseus, who is on a mission to destabilize the global balance of power and change the course of history. Beyond the Campaign, players will bring a wide selection of Cold War weapons and equipment into the next generation of Multiplayer combat and an all-new Zombies experience.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War recently held some beta sessions for the multiplayer suite this year and early indications from it are really positive. There will also of course be a Zombies mode like the other Black ops titles, and you will still have access to Call of Duty’s battle royale mode as well.

Take a look at the launch trailer below and then tell us what you think. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is set for release November 13th on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. Will you be picking it up?
