The Black Ops Cold War reveal is happening today!
After a massive Easter-egg hunt, Activision has announced Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War. It’s being developed by longtime Black Ops developer Treyarch and fellow Activision studio Raven Software (Quake 4, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast).
On August 19, players from the Call of Duty Zombies community, including content creator NoahJ456, solved a week-long ARG that led to an unlisted YouTube video: the Cold Warannouncement teaser.
The game’s setting and story, naturally, will be based on the events of the real-world Cold War.

How To Watch
This is expected to somehow take place, in-game, on Warzone’s Verdansk map. Maybe the trailer will be shown in the stadium? We should know more very soon.
While the majority of the trailer will be campaign-based and likely to feature plenty of cutscenes, it has been rumoured that a few seconds of multiplayer will be revealed.
You can watch the live reveal for yourself in Warzone - it's been confirmed by @CODTracker that a new playlist will be created for it.
You can alternatively choose to tune in to one of many streams on Twitch or YouTube.
We advise being online at least 30 minutes prior to ensure you get in without any issues.
After Fortnite’s world map got devoured by a black hole and Destiny 2 blew up a sun-killing superweapon in the skies above the social hub, things could get interesting when this reveal event kicks off.
Black Ops: Cold War is set to launch in 2020.
Companion App Confirms Reveal
As noted by CharlieIntel, the official Call of Duty Companion App has reinsured fans that a worldwide reveal is coming later this week.
"Witness the first official trailer" is what players can see when they load up the app!
