Call Of Duty Black Ops Cold War Official Story Details Revealed 27 August 2020 by Lara Jackson Activision has officially revealed the first trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, along with a whole slew of new details and teases. There’s been a lot to unpack over the game trailer’s reveal, so here’s everything we know. Story Credit: Activision Black Ops Cold War will take place in the early 1980s during – you guessed it – the Cold War. The Cold War was a tense time in history when World War 3 was expected to happen at any moment, as two titans refused to play their hands when it came to their nuclear weapons. Nuclear war may not have happened in real life, but who knows what might happen in Call of Duty. Unlike Black Ops 4, Cold War will have a single player campaign along with its multiplayer. You’ll be chasing down a mysterious character named Perseus, who’s set to change the course of history. The game has been confirmed to be a direct sequel to the very first Call of Duty Black Ops game.ADVERT ADVERT Developer Treyarch (along with Raven) has promises a thrilling campaign with a lot of dark themes. As the teaser trailer told us: it’s time to Know Your History. Characters Credit: Activision If you truly do know your history, you’re going to be seeing a lot of familiar faces in Black Ops Cold War. Alongside famous historical figures including the likes of KGB informant and defector, Yuri Bezmenov, we’ll also see a number of Call of Duty characters returning once again. Woods, Hudson and Mason will all be appearing in the game, alongside new characters Helen Park, Lauren Sims and Russell Adler.

Release Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is due to release on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on November 13 2020.
