Battle.net store page describes the game taking place in “the depths of the Cold War’s volatile geopolitical battle” of the early 1980s. Sending you around the globe through East Berlin, Vietnam, Turkey, Soviet KGB headquarters facing iconic historical figures and “hard truths”. Interestingly, a leak of the game synopsis confirmed Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War to be a direct sequel to the 2010’s Black Ops, where you will play through the campaign alongside Sergeant Frank Woods and Alex Mason.
As elite operatives, you will follow the trail of a shadowy figure named Perseus who is on a mission to destabilize the global balance of power and change the course of history. Descend into the dark center of this global conspiracy alongside iconic characters Woods, Mason and Hudson and a new cast of operatives attempting to stop a plot decades in the making.”
And last but not least, the fan-favorite multiplayer Zombies mode will be making a return after being absent in the 2019’s Modern Warfare remake. I know, the original title didn’t have it either but it’s not like they can’t just add an extra secret mode for laugh considering how popular it is, can’t they?
