Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has confirmed a release date for PS4, Xbox One, and PC as November 13, 2020. The exact launch date for next-gen platforms is still up in the air, but the game is said to release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in Holiday 2020, "depending on when consoles are available to consumers," according to Activision.

Black Ops Cold War is the subseries' return to a conspiracy-laden story in a single-player campaign. As you can see in the trailer below, the game brings back familiar faces such as Mason, Woods, and Hudson for a globe-trotting story that's set in the 1980s with certain parts going back to 1968 during the Vietnam War. It's a direct sequel to the original Black Ops, and the setup has Soviet Russia and the United States amid tensions of nuclear war playing dangerous spy games with each other through covert ops, which is what you'll be taking part in.

While we see the return of familiar characters and have a few new ones as allies, you will be playing as your own character that you create and customize. You'll choose your personality traits, gender (with a "classified" option with gender-neutral pronouns), and appearance. There'll be over-the-top action as per usual for Call of Duty, but dialogue options and open-ended mission objectives will also be a part of the experience, and the story has multiple endings.
