Thus, Treyarch has revealed that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will have a campaign mode , unlike Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, which decidedly bet on different online modes. So much so, that its story mode, set in the middle of the Cold War, will take us in the early 80's to such iconic settings as Vietnam, the east side of Berlin, Turkey, Soviet Moscow or the KGB facilities, among others. "As elite operators, players will try to stop a conspiracy that has transcended for decades, while following the trail of a mysterious figure called Perseus, who aims to destabilize the global balance of power and change the course of history," they comment from Activision .
On the other hand, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will bet heavily on different multiplayer proposals; In the absence of knowing more details that will be shared on September 9 , large scenarios with vehicles have been confirmed, in addition to a beta prior to its launch. And how could it be otherwise, the zombies mode returns from the hand of its creators, Treyarch, although again we will have to wait for the presentation event of the different multiplayer modes, along with news for Warzone .
“Black Ops Cold War offers content for everyone - from a captivating Campaign Mode, to next-gen Multiplayer, to a new Zombies experience, and more incredible content for Warzone after its launch. We are delighted that our development teams are led by Treyarch and Raven, to bring this incredible new Black Ops experience to life on the next generation of platforms, ”said Byron Beede , Executive Vice President and General Manager of Call of Duty on Activision.
It has been confirmed, however, that all Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players will be able to play with each other regardless of the platform thanks to cross play between platforms and even generations, when PS5 and Xbox Series X are available , both in competitive and cooperative modes. Of course, in this case, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will not be updated for free to the new generation as it happens in other intergenerational titles; however, for those who want to make the leap to the new generation, they can opt for a more expensive 10 euro version that will give the option to upgrade to PS5 or Xbox Series X when available.
Beyond the aforementioned cross-gen Bundle , two editions will go on sale, the standard and the Definitive Edition with an added price of 30 euros over the basic edition and which will include the Confrontation weapons pack, the Earth, sea skin pack and air and the Battle Pass of season 1.
