Activision has finally revealedCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warto the world in an explosive trailer that mainly showcases the game’s campaign. Additional details about what theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warcampaign will entail have since been revealed by developer Raven Software.
Treyarchwill be handling theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warmultiplayer development, whereas Raven Software is working on the campaign. Raven Software previously made 2010’sSingularity, which earned strong reviews at the time of its release, so many fans will be happy to see the studio back in the driver’s seat for a single-player FPS experience.

In theBlack Ops Cold Warcampaign, players will be able to choose dialogue and make choices that can impact the narrative. There will also be optional side missions thatBlack Ops Cold Warplayers will unlock that they can play to further impact the main story. It will all lead to theBlack Ops Cold Warfinale, which will have multiple endings. Besides the choices players make, the way they choose to play the game will also influence how it ends.
By having multiple endings,Black Ops Cold War’s campaign should have a lot more replay value than the typicalCall of Dutycampaign. The inclusion of side missions is a nice touch as well, and should also go a long way in ensuring that theBlack Ops Cold Warcampaign is a little meatier than what franchise fans are used to in the games.
Of course, the campaign is still just one piece of theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warpuzzle. Along with the campaign, players can also expectBlack Ops Cold Warto deliver thetraditionalCall of Dutymultiplayer experience, in addition to the co-op Zombies mode. More information on multiplayer will be coming on September 9, but it’s unclear exactly when fans will get a more in-depth look atZombies.
So far, it seems fans have reacted positively toBlack Ops Cold War’s reveal trailer, and seem optimistic about the game. Raven Software is certainly taking risks with the campaign, but it should still be familiar to longtime fans of the franchise. More information should come to light about what to expect from theBlack Ops Cold Warcampaign between now and the game’s November release date.
