Activision Announces Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War

Raevenlord · Aug 21, 2020

Shortly after a Doritos-sourced leak on the next installment in the Call of Duty franchise, Activision has now officially confirmed the future of the Call of duty franchise. The next installment, Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War, is being hailed as inspired by historical events. And if the title is anything to go by, players can apparently expect to take part in a web of black ops hat are, at the very least, placed somewhere alongside the historical years between 1947 (the beginning of the Truman doctrine) and the USSR's dissolution in 1991 (quick historical fact: the USSR's ultimate dissolution occurred with as much pomp and circumstance as pen to paper, with the signing of the Commonwealth of Independent States at the Belovezhskaya Pushcha, in Belarus).

It remains to be seen what - if any - changes to the Call of Duty formula this title will bring. It's being developed by Treyarch, one of Activision's three development studios tasked with bringing the Call of Duty franchise to market yearly, with a three-year development cycle. Raven Software is collaborating with the studio, and we know the title will see integration with Call of Duty Warzone: it's likely Warzone will become a Battle Royale companion to all future Call of Duty titles, added to and updated with the latest installments. Watch the announcement video after the break.

I am still amazed that a video game, and a Call Of Duty one of all the games, makes use of Yuri Bezmenov to promote it.

Well, his speech is still quite relavant today, kinda acting as a bridge between past and present day.

Not a pre order for me though.

The most ironic part is that only a month or so ago they were shilling the marxist BLM on the login screen.

Sincerely excited if they bring along a new map for Warzone. I abosolutely love it (cheaters aside) for some reason, even though all the previous BR-style hits didn't do anything for me. However, Verdansk is getting really tiresome, no amount of little changes like they did with stadium or train in the last update gonna do the job, new map or bust.
