Activision has delivered on its promise to unveil Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War inside Call of Duty: Warzone, debuting footage via an in-game event that was captured from a PlayStation 5. The game will launch on PlayStation 4 on 13th November 2020, and you'll be able to upgrade to the PS5 version if you purchase the specific Cross-Gen Bundle. This costs £5/$10 more than the base game and includes early access to the open beta, Frank Woods for use in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and a Confrontation Weapons Pack.
The PlayStation Store listing describes the game as a "volatile geopolitical battle of the early 1980s. In a gripping single-player Campaign, where players will come face-to-face with historical figures and hard truths, as they battle around the globe through iconic locales like East Berlin, Vietnam, Turkey, Soviet KGB headquarters and more." It will have a campaign, the traditional multiplayer suite of options, and an extensive Zombies mode. The worldwide reveal of multiplayer will take place on 9th September 2020.
The single player portion will support multiple endings, with the choices you make reflected in-game as the campaign changes. You will also be able to unlock side missions in this direct sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops. PS4 and PS5 players will be able to play with each other across generations, while cross-progression will ensure you don't lose progress in any of its modes.

Didn't even come out yet and I already placed it in the garbage bin, just where it belongs
I haven't played a COD game since the original Black Ops back in 2010, I might just grab this just for the campaign alone.
Certainly will wait for the review but intriguing nonetheless
I'll Play it when Free on PS+. I liked the single player campaigns from those.
Thankfully on PS4 you have tons of games to pick from at any given moment if one game is not for you.
Sandwiched between Yakuza: like a Dragon and Cyberpunk 2077. Not a chance this is getting $60 from me in November.
Wild world where Activision is less scummy about their next gen concepts than 505. Still, this looks really good. Black Ops has always been my favorite sub series, and I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be buying the next gen update version.
Thought about buying a CoD game for the first time in 11 years because I like the Cold War era. Now I'll either wait for the 'PS5 Edition Included' or not bother with it at all. Or maybe it'll end up on Plus one day. 🤔
Not many (or at all) games with a well told single player story campaigns (well told, not good story itself mind you), so looking forward to it. How can you not if you care for well staged action blockbusters. (Ok, ignoring the fact you "have to hate cod" of course because that's the "in" thing to do)
Updated with the trailer!
Looks cool, will play when it hits Plus eventually. Hope fans enjoy it!
This looks really good. Looking forward to it.
Will probably pick this one up, the single player campaign sounds good, love the cold war era setting. Hopefully they get a good story for it. One of my favourite TV series is set in the cold war the Americans loved that show. Will probably have a few games online but will probably get bored of that as I usually do.
Those idiots at Sega and Square Enix better delay their stuff if they want even a shot at making decent money that day.
So it looks like the NBA 2K21 approach of $10 more expensive for next gen will be the norm.
Just pre-ordered it, lol. I love that they made a sequel to Black Ops 1 instead of rebooting the game...always fun to add to the lore and past experiences instead of re-writing them. Also love that they're setting part of it in the 80s.
The only disappointment will be that it probably won't have dolphin diving in it, since I heard the Warzone component will be crossplay with MW's Warzone. I miss diving through glass windows for either a hilarious death or badass kill!
Game.co.uk are saying the game is 64.99 on the ps4 version and then 69.99 for the ps5 you may as well just pay the extra fiver if they launch same day.
@GADG3Tx87 Presumably they will sell a "PS5-only" version. My guess is the cross-gen edition is literally paying $10 to get early access on PS4, so your progress carries over whenever you get a PS5.
Wasn’t November 13th when the PS4 launched?
I'm having a COD campaign revival at the mo. Looking forward to this as long as the trophies are offline.
@get2sammyb Have you guys heard about the cross-gen upgrade being exclusive to Sony? There is no option to upgrade from the Xbox One version to Series X.
looks really good!! Reagan has been brought to life for sure.
@DeepSpace5D I saw something but it seems like a bit of a misunderstanding. With Xbox you can buy the Xbox Series X version and it'll play on both.
There are different ways on both consoles to get to roughly the same outcome, it's just minor differences in approach that are causing confusion.
@get2sammyb That’s right, from my understanding the Series X version can be bought for the higher price point, but apparently if the Xbox One version is purchased you can’t upgarde to the Series X version for $10 more.
If you buy the PS4 version initially, you can upgrade to the PS5 version for $10 more.
Apparently this applies to the physical version of the game.
I don’t think it is something impactful, just kind of odd and interesting.
1980s settings ok now im interested.word up son
I've never cared for Call of Duty games before, but this one definitely caught my interest.
However I still don't see myself buying at Launch, with it competing against Yakuza, Cyberpunk, Kingdom hearts, and other games too.
