Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is set in the 1980s and will take players through a campaign of political intrigue. While this is moving backward in the Call of Duty: Black Ops timeline, the game’s time period is a very purposeful choice. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will be acting as a sequel to the first game and a nice middle period before the second.
Ahead of the release, the developers have been doing a scattering of interviews. Among these, fans have learned a lot about behind the scenes decisions of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, like why the developers chose the Cold War for their next Call of Duty chapter.
In an interview with IGN, developer Dan Vondrake explains that the team chose the Cold War due to its intrigue and history. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is built on top of a pile of declassified documents that gave the entire game a realistic feel despite being a fictional tale. With the first game taking place in the 1960s, the 1980s was close enough to give a similar feeling to players as they had in the first Call of Duty: Black Ops title. The intrigue of the era opened the door for puzzles, riddles, and a whole new look at how a Call of Duty title could be designed.
Still, it is important that the developers did not invalidate the work already done in the Call of Duty: Black Ops franchise. Vondrak explains that they wanted to respect the history of the previous games, so it seemed natural to design it as a sequel to the first as it could hold reutrning characters in new stories.
With there being a massive time jump between the first and second titles, the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War fits perfectly in the line as canon. With the threat of nuclear war, high stakes mission, and a deniable operation being the core of the story the developers are positioned perfectly to present an authentic Call of Duty: Black Ops experience.
Information regarding the title continues to be released slowly. As players get closer to a full launch on November 13th, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War patches some last-minute fixes. Leaks will no doubt continue to appear until then, but at least now the developers are sharing information outside of their complicated puzzle promotions.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is set to launch on November 13th for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
