Activision announces that
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is now
available worldwide for Windows, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and
PlayStation 4. The PC edition can be picked up through the
Blizzard Shop. This
PC
trailer features a look, and this briefing explains the newest installment
in the venerable shooter series:
The new title infuses 1980s pop culture
into a gripping conspiracy set at the height of the Cold War. In the fictional
story campaign players must stop a plot decades in the making that could
destabilize the global balance of power and change the course of history. The
game delivers the next generation of online multiplayer combat with an arsenal
of Cold War weapons and equipment across a wide variety of new maps and modes.
Black Ops Cold War also provides an all-new co-operative Zombies survival mode
experience.
The title supports cross-play across next generation and current generation
systems with cross progression across all modes. Players can look forward to the
biggest series of free, post-launch content in Black Ops history across
Multiplayer and Zombies, as well as a robust schedule of in-game community
events.
“Today’s launch starts the next great Black Ops experience across story,
multiplayer and zombies in a direct sequel to one of the most iconic titles in
Call of Duty,” said Byron Beede, Executive Vice President and General Manager,
Call of Duty, Activision. “This is just the beginning. Our players can look
forward to the biggest series of post-launch free content, community events and
ongoing support ever in Black Ops plus tight integration across the ecosystem
with Warzone. It’s a great time to play Call of Duty.”
The release of a new Black Ops title, the top selling Call of Duty series, adds
to the ongoing momentum across Call of Duty following the recent releases of
Warzone™ and Modern Warfare®, which, along with Call of Duty: Mobile, have
driven Call of Duty to more than 100 million monthly active users. Call of Duty:
Mobile has now surpassed more than 300 million downloads* worldwide.
The free-to-play, free-for-everyone Call of Duty: Warzone will take on a new
dimension as it integrates with both Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare.
Player progression will be synchronized across all three titles, and weapon
progression from Black Ops Cold War or Modern Warfare both will be shared with
Warzone. Starting now, Black Ops Cold War Operators will be available for play
in Warzone, and beginning December 10 at the launch of Season One, Black Ops
Cold War weapons will become available in Warzone, allowing Warzone players to
access either their Black Ops Cold War or Modern Warfare loadouts, respectively,
for play.
The battle pass system continues beginning Season One in December with brand new
content for Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. Players can progress through the
battle pass system by playing any of the three Call of Duty games.
