We’ve known what the next Call of Duty title is going to be this year after reports revealed that the game changed developers with Treyarch taking the reigns from Sledgehammer this year. We have also learned that the official reveal for the game is happening tomorrow, August 26. However, several details about the game have leaked including the different pre-order editions of the game and what will be coming with them.
The leaks reveal that Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War takes place after the original Black Ops and will “drop fans into the depths of the Cold War’s volatile geopolitical battle of the early 1980s.” The single-player campaign will see players come face to face with historical figures and hard truths as they travel through iconic locations such as East Berlin, Vietnam, Turkey, Soviet KGB headquarters, and more. The game brings back Woods, Mason, and Hudson from the first game as well as introduces a new cast of operatives attempting to stop a plot decades in the making.
Three versions of the game will be available to pre-order. All three will include access to the beta with a pre-order and access to the Frank Woods Operator in Modern Warfare and Warzone.
The Standard and Cross-Gen Edition of the game will include the Confrontation Weapons Pack. The Standard Edition of the game is the base version of Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War and is available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The Cross-Gen Edition of the game comes with access to the next-gen version of the game depending on the platform you buy it on so players who purchase the PS4 version will get the PS5 version and vice versa.
The Ultimate Edition of the game includes the cross-gen bundle and bonus content which includes the Land, Sea, and Air Pack with three operator skins, three vehicle skins, and three weapon blueprints. You’ll also get the Confrontation Weapons Pack and a Battle Pass Bundle with a 1 Season Battle Pass + 20 Tier Skips.
Pre-ordering the game gets you early access to the Open Beta, Iconic Operator Frank Woods, and an Assault rifle Weapon Blueprint for immediate use in Modern Warfare and Warzone, and 10 Tier Skips for immediate use in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone. The reveal for Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War will take place tomorrow at 10:30 am PT/12:30 pm CT/ 1:30 pm ET/ 6:30 pm BT.
