New Call Of Duty Release Date

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is a) a mouthful, and b) the official title of this year's Call of Duty game, which was recently confirmed after weeks of teasing from developers Treyarch and Raven Software. Now that it's out in the open, fans still have plenty of questions about what to expect from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, not to mention when to expect it.

Below, we've listed everything we know about Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War so far, from officially announced information to rumoured features and leaked gameplay, so have a read. We'll be sure to update this page whenever any new details arrive, too, so be sure to bookmark us and return regularly to stay up to date on the all the latest announcements in the lead up to the game's launch.

The Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War release date is November 13

Activision has revealed that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC November 13. Though, it's less certain when it'll launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Thanks to some peculiar wording from Activision on the matter, it sounds like Black Ops Cold War could be releasing on one next-gen console before the other. Here's an excerpt from some official marketing material:

'The PlayStation 5 version of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is scheduled for release Holiday 2020 in the U.S. and Canada, and in late 2020 for the rest of the world. The title is also scheduled for release later this year on the Xbox Series X.'

Notice how it uses different language to describe the PS5 and Xbox Series X releases - could that mean one next-gen console gets to play Black Ops Cold War earlier than the other, or are we reading too much into it? With a company as big as Activision, it seems unlikely the discrepancy is a simple coincidence.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War trailer revealed in Warzone

Barring any timer or release changes on the developer's end, it appears that Season 1 will end and Season 2 will start on February 24, 2021. As such, you can expect Season 2 will go live later that. The next title, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, is set for release on November 13, 2020. The series originally focused on the World War II setting, with Infinity Ward developing the first (2003) and second (2005) titles in the series and Treyarch developing the third (2006). 'Call of Duty: Warzone' Season 7 hype has started to build now that the Season 6 pass has finished. Here's what we know about the date of the upcoming season.

Following months of rumors, leaks, and teases from Treyarch, Black Ops Cold War was at-last fully revealed in the most Call of Duty way: you had to sign into Warzone and complete a special Contract in order to view the trailer. Of course, it was uploaded online shortly thereafter, so you can watch it right here without having to move a trigger finger.

The Black Ops Cold War single player campaign is a direct sequel to the first game

It wasn't long ago that we were speculating about whether we'd even get a single-player campaign in Call of Duty 2020 - now we know it's got a dedicated campaign that directly follows the events of the first game. The reveal trailer sets up that decades-spanning narrative and reintroduces some familiar characters, not to mention real-life US president Ronald Regan.

Black Ops Cold War's campaign brings back Mason, Woods, and Hudson from the original Black Ops, meaning it's set before the events of Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 3.

Black Ops Cold War Zombies mode has been confirmed

Black Ops Cold War will feature a 'brand-new Zombies experience,' Activision has confirmed. Details are short on the co-op multiplayer mode, but we know it'll intersect with the Cold War narrative told in the main story. Here's a clip from a press release describing the new Zombies mode:

'In addition to the story campaign, Black Ops Cold War will bring an arsenal of Cold War weapons and equipment into the next generation of Black Ops Multiplayer combat and an all-new co-operative gameplay experience with Zombies.'

What's happening with Call of Duty League 2020?

Will Call of Duty 2020 have a ranked mode or league play? We're really not sure, but it's likely since Treyarch has been the most reliable developer in the series for league play in the past. That said ranked play in Call of Duty has been a touchy subject for some time, it's been included in most games but Modern Warfare still doesn't have it almost six months on from launch. In an era where esports means big money, Activision's apparent reluctance to support it in-game is baffling.

Call of Duty 2020 wishlist

Now for a few things we want to see included or amended in Call of Duty 2020, that could seriously make the game one of the best Call of Duty titles we've had in years.

1. Remove UAV and Counter-UAV

There hasn't been a multiplay Call of Duty title without a UAV kill streak since 2007, but it's about time it was removed. This might be a controversial take but hear me out; UAV is simply a crutch for bad players. Much like death streaks were when they were added in Modern Warfare 2 then removed not long after, knowing the location of your enemies means you pay so much more attention to the minimap rather than learning how to play the game.

UAVs encourage corner camping, pre-aiming, and overall contribute to a less enjoyable experience in most, if not all Call of Duty games. There's a case to be had that most killstreaks detract from the skill level of Call of Duty, and barebones playlists should be a permanent feature, but let's start with UAVs (and Counter UAVs) because they're completely unnecessary. Especially when they're so easy to get.

2. Go back to the drawing board with maps

It's no secret that the multiplayer maps in Modern Warfare are some of the worst we've had in a long time. Seriously, have you seen Piccadilly and Azhir Cave? The absence of three lane maps is painfully obvious so Treyarch, please. I beg you: return to maps that follow the three lane philosophy.

Cast your mind back to fan favourite maps like Crossfire, Highrise, Launch, Radiation, Havana.. all of these maps adhered to the three lane template – as did most maps in those games – but recently, the idea has been thrown out of the window. Go back to this style and I'm willing to bet some of the Call of Duty 2020 maps could be the best we've had in years.

3. Keep the Gunsmith system

Introduced with Modern Warfare, the amount of options and customisability in the Gunsmith system is eons better than anything we've seen in the franchise before. Every weapon has so many attachments and possible configurations. You can truly experiment and it's unlikely you'll find anyone rocking the exact same loadout as you, which is something that has been fairly common in previous COD games.

So Treyarch, please learn from this and implement something similar into your next game. Of course, the setting for the title will have some limitations – if it was a WW2 game for example, it's unlikely you'll be able to attach a holographic sight to a Thompson – but there's certainly room to keep this excellent feature in some fashion.

4. Increase the time-to-kill

Modern Warfare has one of the lowest TTK rates in recent Call of Duty history and while some people are fond of that – especially those that play hardcore – I must admit I prefer shooters with a slightly higher TTK. Call of Duty games like the original Modern Warfare and Black Ops 2 are two of the most renowned titles and there's no coincidence that part of that is thanks to the fact you don't die in just one or two bullets.

Increasing the TTK also helps to prevent corner camping, since shooting someone in the back isn't a guaranteed kill every time. It rewards a higher skill ceiling, since being shot in the back means there's a chance you can turn around quickly and out-shoot them. Some of my fondest moments and memories in old Call of Duty games include times when I've earned a kill or two while on just a sliver of health, all thanks to the TTK being higher.

That concludes our Call of Duty 2020 wishlist and everything we know about the game so far! Check back here regularly to see if any more information has been announced and until then, enjoy the absence of ranked play.. please Activision.

Call of Duty 2020 may still be a way off, but we know it's definitely coming — did anyone really think otherwise? This year, Treyarch is in charge of development, but what does that mean for the franchise? Everything we know about Call of Duty 2020 is right here including leaks for the singleplayer, multiplayer, setting, Zombies, and more.

Call of Duty 2020 release date - When will we get the next game?

If the last couple of years are anything to go by the Call of Duty 2020 release date will be mid-October this year, after Black Ops 4 and Modern Warfare moved the usual November release date to be a few weeks earlier. Release date of skyrim.

As for when we're likely to hear official news about Call of Duty 2020, it could come any time in the next few months. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is about six months old at this point and if it were to be in line with previous Call of Duty release schedules, we're expecting a proper reveal around May.

UPDATE March 19: According to a leak from TheGamingRevolution, Call of Duty 2020 will in fact be a reboot of the Black Ops series, much like Modern Warfare last year. Both Alex Mason and Frank Woods are set to return — albeit with new voice actors — and as we originally reported based on the leaks below, it will be just as serious. Supposedly there's a notable interrogation scene because those haven't been overdone yet.

Supposedly there's a notable interrogation scene because those haven't been overdone yet.

TheGamingRevolution also let slip some details about the engine; apparently it will use the same one found in Modern Warfare, including the 32v32 Ground War mode that debuted in MW. Also in multiplayer are some killstreaks alleged to make an appearance including the classic UAV, Counter UAV, dogs, a flamethrower, and a bomber that can eliminate enemy killstreaks in the sky.

Just like with Modern Warfare, all multiplayer DLC will supposedly be free, although there may be a paid season pass for the returning Zombies mode. This will feature a plot more realistic than what we've seen in the past with Zombies, despite them being, you know.. zombies.

Finally, in news related to a further Call of Duty, Sledgehammer Games is reportedly working on a free-to-play title in the series for release in 2021. This won't be a mainline entry as the reigns will go back to Infinity Ward, but is meant to have open world and battle royale elements.

Original leak below.

ORIGINAL: Over two months before Modern Warfare came out, a rumour started circulating that Call of Duty 2020 would be Call of Duty: Black Ops 5 from Treyarch. That's not too far-fetched since the last four games from the studio have been Black Ops games. Good android emulator.

Allegedly, it will be set during the Cold War, including both Vietnam and Korea. A Korean War setting would be treading new ground for for Call of Duty both in terms of location and time - it took place in the 1950s, involving an invasion of South Korea by their northern counterparts, before international help arrived to assist and push back the invading forces. Apparently this campaign will be even more 'gritty and gruesome' than Modern Warfare, but that would be seriously impressive if they manage to pull that off, not to mention controversial.

David Vonderhaar – game design director at Treyarch – tweeted in early January saying that there would be no jetpacks in Call of Duty 2020 after the community backlash in Black Ops 3. He then replied to another outlet's tweets implying he didn't confirm that at all. It certainly reads to us like he did, but time will tell and if the rumour about it being set during the Cold War is accurate, jetpacks would feel slightly out of place to say the least.

Will Call of Duty 2020 single-player exist?

As someone who has been playing and enjoying every Call of Duty campaign on veteran difficulty since Call of Duty 4, it was disappointing that Black Ops 4 didn't have a traditional single-player mode or narrative. After the success of Modern Warfare's campaign last year, it'll undoubtedly come as a shock if there is no Call of Duty 2020 campaign.

Where could they go with it? If the above rumours regarding the Vietnam and Korean wars are to be believed then those alternate reality options are essentially endless since they've not been touched upon much before in the franchise. The last Treyarch campaign – Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 – was set in 2065 during a third Cold War and ended with the player character essentially dying, so outside of some funky futuristic shenanigans, it's unlikely that narrative will be continued chronologically.

Will Call of Duty 2020 Zombies mode return?

New Call Of Duty Release Date 2021

Will Call of Duty 2020 Zombies mode be a thing? It's developed by Treyarch and they haven't released a Call of Duty title since Call of Duty 3 that didn't have Zombies mode, so it's a fairly safe assumption. Jason Blundell has been the Zombies gameplay director for the last few instalments and he's still working at Treyarch, so the odds look good. The leak reported on above also mentions Zombies mode, so it's a safe bet to assume it will be back.

What's happening with Call of Duty League 2020?

Will Call of Duty 2020 have a ranked mode or league play? We're really not sure, but it's likely since Treyarch has been the most reliable developer in the series for league play in the past.
