Activision has launched what looks like an ARG for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the long-awaited next game in its gargantuan first-person shooter series, slated for release later this year and in development at Treyarch and Raven Software .
The promotional material for Call of Duty 2020 was sent to a number of streamers around the world, and contained a mystery box with a lock that could not be opened until a code for it was received at just 9AM PST / 12PM ET / 5PM BST.

The box contains a cryptic note, complete with a projector with slides that potentially hold the key for cracking its code; it’s unclear where it could lead, but there’s no doubt it has something to do with the next Call of Duty title.
The news comes just after the release of Call of Duty: Warzone season 5, which has also plagued Black Ops Cold War via in-game messages sent randomly to players, with a single message; “Know your history”.
Activision will no doubt reveal even more about the upcoming 2020 game in the coming weeks and months, so stay tuned here on GamesRadar for more to come.
We will update this story as those who have the project continue to discover more of the evolving mystery.
