#1 Selling Call of Duty Series Continues
Franchise Momentum and Releases to the Largest, Most Engaged
Community at the time of Launch in Call of Duty History
Activision today announced the worldwide launch of the
highly-anticipated Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War, an
all-new entry in the #1 selling series in Call of Duty and a direct
sequel to the fan favorite Call of Duty: Black Ops.
The new title infuses 1980s pop culture into a gripping
conspiracy set at the height of the Cold War. In the fictional
story campaign players must stop a plot decades in the making that
could destabilize the global balance of power and change the course
of history. The game delivers the next generation of online
multiplayer combat with an arsenal of Cold War weapons and
equipment across a wide variety of new maps and modes. Black Ops
Cold War also provides an all-new co-operative Zombies survival
mode experience.
The title supports cross-play across next generation and current
generation systems with cross progression across all modes. Players
can look forward to the biggest series of free, post-launch content
in Black Ops history across Multiplayer and Zombies, as well as a
robust schedule of in-game community events.
“Today’s launch starts the next great Black Ops experience
across story, multiplayer and zombies in a direct sequel to one of
the most iconic titles in Call of Duty,” said Byron Beede,
Executive Vice President and General Manager, Call of Duty,
Activision. “This is just the beginning. Our players can look
forward to the biggest series of post-launch free content,
community events and ongoing support ever in Black Ops plus tight
integration across the ecosystem with Warzone. It’s a great time to
play Call of Duty.”
The release of a new Black Ops title, the top selling Call of
Duty series, adds to the ongoing momentum across Call of Duty
following the recent releases of Warzone™ and Modern Warfare®,
which, along with Call of Duty: Mobile, have driven Call of Duty to
more than 100 million monthly active users. Call of Duty: Mobile
has now surpassed more than 300 million downloads* worldwide.
The free-to-play, free-for-everyone Call of Duty: Warzone will
take on a new dimension as it integrates with both Black Ops Cold
War and Modern Warfare. Player progression will be synchronized
across all three titles, and weapon progression from Black Ops Cold
War or Modern Warfare both will be shared with Warzone. Starting
now, Black Ops Cold War Operators will be available for play in
Warzone, and beginning December 10 at the launch of Season One,
Black Ops Cold War weapons will become available in Warzone,
allowing Warzone players to access either their Black Ops Cold War
or Modern Warfare loadouts, respectively, for play.
The battle pass system continues beginning Season One in
December with brand new content for Black Ops Cold War and Warzone.
Players can progress through the battle pass system by playing any
of the three Call of Duty games.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available now
worldwide on PlayStation® 5 (Australia, Japan, New Zealand, North
America, Singapore, South Korea; rest of world availability Nov.
19th), PlayStation® 4, the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, and on PC,
