After months of anticipation and a real-world scavenger hunt, players confirmed that Activision’s nextCall of Dutygame from developers Treyarch and Raven Software isCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Ateaser trailer forBlack Ops Cold Warwas discovered this week that let fans know the game will be revealed August 26, but other details about it have been leaked before then.

The possibility ofBlack Ops Cold Warhaving an open beta was previously leaked, but COD Tracker purportedly confirms the beta will be available on PC through Battle.Net, and thus also available on PS4 and Xbox One. COD Tracker said it is unable to confirm whether it is just a multiplayer-focused beta. In terms of cosmetics, the pre-order bonus supposedly includes a Woods Operator Pack forModern WarfareandWarzone, as well as two additional packs and a Season 1 Battle Pass Bundle forBlack Ops Cold War.
As with all leaks, COD Tracker’s report should be taken with a grain of salt — and the site tells fans to “be aware that all of the following information is unannounced and subject to change.” That being said, theBlack Ops Cold Wartitle was leaked through a Doritos promotionand wound up being true, so it is worth at least considering the new information.
Excitement for the nextCall of Dutyentry is at an all-time high, as the success of Infinity Ward’sModern Warfareand teasing for this new game’s historical setting has suggested something fun is in development. With Activision planning to reveal Ops Cold Warthis week, it will be interesting to see what the publisher says fans can expect.
