DevelopmentIn May 2019, it was reported that Treyarch would take over the Call of Duty 2020 project following tensions between Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software during the development of the game[1]. On August 4, 2020, Activision announced that Treyarch and Raven Software were co-developing the game which would be known as Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War[2]. The two studios focused on different parts of the game; Raven Software designed the Campaign mode while Treyarch developed its Multiplayer and Zombies modes. While sharing "underlying technology" with the revamped engine from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Black Ops Cold War used a different iteration of the IW Engine whose tools and technologies were created in 2015 starting with Call of Duty: Black Ops III and rebuilt "to be scalable and broad to work on future platforms"[3]. The technologies included Real Time Lighting which allowed "the lighting to be adjusted in real time during development" as well as global illumination and ray-tracing. The game would also showcase volumetric fog[3]. On the next-gen platforms Black Ops Cold War is expected to support 4K resolution and 120 frame-per-second.[4] Campaign"Black Ops Cold War will drop fans into the depths of the Cold War’s volatile geopolitical battle of the early 1980s. Nothing is ever as it seems in a gripping single-player Campaign, where players will come face-to-face with historical figures and hard truths, as they battle around the globe through iconic locations like East Berlin, Vietnam, Turkey, Soviet KGB headquarters and more."— Battle.net description[5]The Campaign mode of Black Ops Cold War was designed and developed by Raven Software which was already designing a campaign based on the Cold War before Treyarch took the project over[6]. The game is a direct sequel to the original game Call of Duty: Black Ops set in the early 1980s and feature returning characters such as Alex Mason, Frank Woods and Jason Hudson while introducing a new cast of characters including Russell Adler. The campaign was co-written by Murray Kraft, Lead Narrative Designer at Raven Software, and David S. Goyer who was a story consultant on Black Ops and co-wrote Call of Duty: Black Ops II[7]. For its main protagonist, Bell, Raven decided to allow the players to create their own character by choosing their name, race, gender and backstory [8]. The NPC characters will react differently based on the gender (male, female or non-binary)[8]. While Bell will remain silent throughout the campaign[9], players will be able to pick various dialog lines that will change the way the missions would play out. Players will also be able to choose one out of 15 "physiological profiles" for Bell that will slightly affect the gameplay, giving bonus to the players. Choosing "Paranoid" will increase the aim down sight (ADS) speed, "Violent Tendencies" will increase bullet damage, "Lone Wolf" will allow player to sprint longer, "Professional" will give full movement speed while ADS.[8] Black Ops Cold War will also feature different endings based on the action of the players[9], similarly to Black Ops II campaign. Players will also have the possibility to use different save slots.[9] PlotIn 1981, US President Ronald Reagan tasked CIA operative Russell Adler to hunt down Soviet agent Perseus to prevent an attack on the free world. Adler assembles an elite team of operatives including "Bell" with the help of Alex Mason, Frank Woods, and Jason Hudson. The plot follows Bell either betraying Adler and his group and returning to who they were before the brainwashing, or coming to terms with the fact Perseus's plan would only cause destruction and death in Europe and helping Adler prevent that fate. MissionsThere are 16 main missions in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and each of them is listed below. Depending on the player's choice in Identity Crisis, the mission order will branch out to either The Final Countdown or Ashes to Ashes.

WarzoneMain article: Call of Duty: Warzone"Black Ops Cold War will also support and build on the hit, free-to-play experience Call of Duty: Warzone."— Call of Duty website description.[11]Call of Duty: Warzone shares content with Black Ops Cold War, including shared progression and inventory system.[12] With the launch of Season One, integration between the two games began, with all weapons, operators, and cosmetics from Black Ops Cold War being added to Warzone alongside the brand new, Black Ops Cold War themed map - Rebirth Island, a new vehicle (the Attack Helicopter), and a new Gulag for Verdansk based off of Nuketown. Coinciding with the launch of Rebirth Island, a seasonal event themed around the map launched as well. During Season Two, the lost ship known as the Vodianoy arrived in Verdansk, which in turn carried Nazi Zombies onboard. To coincide with this (as well as the release of the Outbreak mode in Zombies), The Outbreak Event launched. Throughout the season, Zombies began to spread across the map into key points of interest, eventually culminating in The Destruction of Verdansk event which saw Verdansk become entirely overrun by the undead threat and destroyed via nuclear explosion. Directly after The Destruction of Verdansk in Season Three, Verdansk was rethemed to aesthetically match Black Ops Cold War in Verdansk '84 - adding brand new points of interests and redesigned versions of previously existing locations, as well as the Hunt for Adler seasonal event. MarketingTeasersOn August 7th, 2020, a short distorted clip appeared during matches inside the Verdansk map from Call of Duty: Warzone (within Modern Warfare). The clip showed two phrases "Know your history" and a phrase in Russian "обречены на её повторение" which translated to "doomed to repeat". "Know Your History" "Doomed to Repeat" (in Russian) Pawn Takes PawnMain article: Pawn Takes PawnOn August 10th, 2020, boxes sent by Activision to several influencers and media outlets were opened. The boxes contained a projector and several slides which led to the discovery of an ARG and a website called Pawn Takes Pawn.
