Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War – Trailer, Release date, and Where to buy

With the previous iteration of Call of Duty, Modern Warfare, being made by Infinity Ward, that means this year it’s Treyarch’s turn. There’s been a huge amount of speculation around Call of Duty 2020 but we now have a confirmed title for the next game in the franchise; Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. This name leak came in the form of a Doritos marketing campaign that showcased the name alongside a double experience promotion and has since been confirmed by Activision.

Due to the Black Ops franchise being a continuing success for Treyarch and Activision, there’s no surprise they’re heading in that direction once again but with a revisit to the Cold War era, continuing the Black Ops story arc with returning characters such as the beloved Woods.

We’re going to talk about all the info we have on COD 2020 so you can be as well informed as possible before purchasing the next iteration of Call of Duty.
