Weekly briefings about new content were a staple for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and also incorporated updates for Call of Duty: Warzone, Call of Duty: Mobile, and more. They took a hiatus following the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War launch, but today a new weekly briefing that details the Black Ops Cold War mid-season update was released through the Call of Duty blog.
Fans of the franchise can look forward to a number of additions coming January 14 when the mid-season update drops, including a Fireteam map called Sanatorium and a 6v6 mode called Dropkick. However, Call of Duty Blog also details two new bundles coming to the in-game store for Black Ops Cold War and Warzone, following a tradition of content bundles in Modern Warfare such as last Halloween’s Saw and Texas Chainsaw Massacre cosmetics.
The games will receive a Kill Bill-inspired “Disavowed Assassin” bundle for Operator Yirina Portnova on January 14, previously revealed by a menu glitch according to CharlieIntel. It promises five items: A Legendary melee weapon Blueprint, a Legendary Operator skin, a Legendary Finishing Move, as well as an Epic Emblem and Calling Card. On January 17, there will be a Tracer Pack Indigo bundle offering Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War players the chance to buy Legendary Blueprints for a “Great Pacific” assault rifle and “Turbo Powered” SMG that both fire colored tracer rounds.
The January 11 weekly briefing also outlines a Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies mode free access week that will open up the fan-favorite mode to all between January 14 and January 21. Beyond that, Call of Duty: Mobile is launching a new “Counter Intelligence” event this week that lets players run around a virtual map of the Soviet Union, and a Call of Duty: Warzone tournament will be taking place on January 15.
Though Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War‘s launch and integration with Warzone has been a successful venture for the franchise thus far, some sources suggest the next-gen Call of Duty title has been slower than its predecessor. Analyst firm SuperData reports Black Ops Cold War took about six weeks to earn $678 million, whereas Modern Warfare earned $600 million in its first three days on the market.
It’s hard not to call either of these metrics a success, however, and the return of weekly briefings for Black Ops Cold War and Warzone suggests the multiple development studios under Activision have a lot more content in the pipeline. Players will no doubt keep coming back and finding interesting quirks in the games, such as a recent Warzone trick that lets players land without parachutes.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
