The trailer starts by setting players at the height of the Cold War. On-screen, a man speaks about Codename Persues and the subversive efforts of the Soviet Union during the arms race. The four stages of undermining a nation: demoralization, destabilization, crises, and normalization are discussed with hints of knowing history. The trailer warns that those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it.
Fans can expect several things from the upcoming title. A game based on real events, driven by historical references, and fueled by Soviet and U.S. distrust. This will take players back into the Cold War, the era of true Black Ops gameplay. Although systems have not been revealed, the game will be debuting in less than a week to the global audience.
This has been a long-awaited trailer with fans sitting on the edge of their seats for days. After the initial five-day process started, many fans doubted that a trailer would appear at all. Through the perseverance and ingenuity of the Call of Duty community fans have finally been able to find the long-awaited trailer.
Now the only question is what awaits players on August 26th. The full international reveal should be taking place and if rumors are correct then a big event will be launching in Call of Duty: Warzone. No matter the case, fans are happy to finally have a taste of this year’s Call of Duty release and will no doubt be waiting with high hopes for the next reveal trailer.
Call of Duty: Cold War will be revealed worldwide on August 26.
