After rumours started to emerge yesterday that the next entry in Activision's blockbuster Call of Duty franchise would be titled Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Eurogamer has backed up the speculation by confirming the name with its own sources. Led by Treyarch, this is said to be a return to the sub-series' historical roots.
Eurogamer reports that teasing of the new game started yesterday after the bunkers in Call of Duty: Warzone were unlocked for players, but there's more to come on that front. These hidden areas are supposedly set to slowly unveil a Cold War setting, although players have already glitched through walls and found a spyplane fit for the era. It doesn't sound like Activision is prepared to officially announce Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War just yet, but we have to assume that this will be a cross-gen title. The publisher can take advantage of the power of the PlayStation 5 while also selling millions upon millions of copies on PlayStation 4.
We'll bring you more news on this topic as and when it breaks. Would you be interested in a return to the past with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War? Let us know in the comments below.

Wait? So they're teasing the new game in Warzone? That's pretty cool!
Can't they come up with a better name than that?
Call of Duty: We Ran out of Names Edition
Hoping to meet reznov again, loved this guy in the black ops series. That is cool though with the bunkers showing signs of the next game. Cold War will be decent to looking forward to the next game. EDIT: to be honest I am surprised no trailer or even a teaser of the new game is announced considering usually around May 5TH every year a new schedule of trailers and even before that rumours of the game flying around.
Just Call of Duty: Cold War already sounds better. They need to drop all the sub monikers, it's getting ridiculous. As if it sells will we'll inevitably have Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War: II
Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War: Cold War Warfare - World at War Edition: Black Ops IIIII
How big should my hard drive be for this one?
wait isn't a cold war where the powers that be DON'T fight
should be interesting for a first person shooter
@MS7000 COD BOCW, sounds magnificent, right?
@Rob_230 Considering the potential updates, you might need three PS4s to support it.
Great idea. It's all about proxy wars, undercover killings and the prospect of a full-on Third World War
Preorder the Special edition with 2TB external hard drive for $400!
Dang, I was hoping for another BLOPS game that focused on the operator characters in the campaign, since they don't have any real story aside from their bios!
Also, I thought the gadgets in BLOPS4 were a good mix-up from the "boots-on-the-ground" gameplay of WW2 (and MW for that matter) so I hope that facet of creativity doesn't go away. For "realism" they could pass these gadgets off as government experiments...?
@RBMango Well the last historical game was just called COD WW2, they named the newest COD Modern Warfare, despite COD4 Modern Warfare existing, so they really aren't good at naming lol.
Must say I'm sorta intrigued. The original black ops has been my favourite CoD, but then dropped the franchise completely after being very disappointed with how generic and nonsensical BO2 was.
Keeping my fingers crossed, but Activision ran out of ideas 10 years ago.
If the PS5 reveal is soon I'd imagine this game would be a part of the event given CoD has been timed PS exclusive since Black Ops 3 (2015).
