Custom has been for the yearly Call of Duty updates, this year’s title, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, has reportedly been leaked ahead of the formal launch. Though Activision has already announced that a new Call of Duty is coming this year. Though it has not revealed any information whatsoever.
Nonetheless, according to a tweet that has now been verified by Eurogamer, this year’s title will be named Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War – both a revival to the famous sub-series and a change of the naming convention.
Call of Duty: Black Ops was set up in the 1960s and starred operations during the Vietnam War. It was a milestone release for Treyarch, with Call of Duty: Black Ops analysis rated 9/10. Critic Chris Watters did write, “Call of Duty: Black Ops is living up to top-notch stature which the lineup has received. Giving users an impressive new shooting game to enjoy just for holidays.”
What events Might Happen?
Last year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare served as a sequel to the 2007 Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Utilizing returning protagonists and recontextualizing them in a plot that serves as a prequel of the occurrences of the original. If this is going to be the Treyarch strategy, however, is yet to be seen.
The Black Ops is probably heading to when it all began. Treyarch’s series started in the 1960s with the Vietnam War, before the continuation of the future. This may be a redesign of some kind, much like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Along with the Vietnam Conflict, the Soviet-Afghan War was one of the most significant Cold War developments that the Black Ops show had rarely focused on in earlier series.

The Black Ops series began starting up in the 1960s before heading into the future in later games. The Cold War title indicates that the game is heading back to its origins and may act as a soft reboot for the series.
It will be Treyarch ‘s fifth Black Ops title, the last being two years earlier. This would fit with the other leaks for Call of Duty: Warzone, where sealed bunkers have already been unlocked.
It doesn’t sound like Activision is about to formally release Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War quite yet. Although one has to presume that this is going to be a cross-gen title.
