Much to everyone's surprise, Treyarch has launched an all-new patch for Black Ops Cold War ahead of Season 2 beginning for Warzone and Vanguard.
Treyarch's latest release hasn't received an update since December 2021 and it appears the developer is delivering on its promise to continue supporting the game once its cycle has ended.
The surprising update appeared in the PlayStation database before rolling out across all platforms on February 9, 2022. With that said, here are the complete patch notes for Black Ops Cold War's February 9 update.

Considering Treyarch is developing Vanguard's Zombies experience alongside the game's Ranked playlist, it's interesting to see the developer maintain its support for a game that remains one of the more popular Call of Duty titles. With Vanguard receiving a mixed reception, several players continue to drop into Cold War matches after six seasons of post-launch content.
Is Black Ops Cold War Getting New Content?
If leaks surrounding the update are correct, Black Ops Cold War is receiving a surprise dose of content. According to 'Real1ty' and 'TotallyNotAlaix', WMD and Jungle maps from previous Black Ops titles will appear alongside Ravenov as an Operator and two new weapons in the form of the Vargo 52 submachine gun and the Scythe melee weapon.
