Call of Duty 2020 updates on teaser pages with references to Cold War and a code to unlock a door in Warzone

08/15/2020 USA


While the official reveal of Call of Duty 2020 has yet to happen, its teaser page now has references to Cold War, a hint of things to come, and even a code that unlocks a door in Call of Duty: Warzone . When you head to pawntakespawn .com / tv, you will be greeted by an old television, VCR, telephone, chess piece, and computer. The TV shows static, but if you click on the VHS tape above the VCR written on it 1961-62, a video will appear on the screen with real-life footage of JFK, the space race, the civil rights movement, the Cuban missile crisis , the Laos crisis, and more.

As the video continues to play, certain numbers on the screen will flash, including 37, 25, and 48. In addition, the VCR will display the text “WZ-H6-49285 163.” flash.

@CharlieINTEL on Twitter, this evolving tease followed closely, and it was discovered that the H6 in the code above was a reference to the Farmland location in Call of Duty: Warzone.

Players, including @PrestigeIsKey, used the VCR code (49285163) on a door in Farmhouse that had a keyboard, and hid a secret room with further instructions.

Some of the documents found in the room include a list of chemical compounds and references to Venona, which was a U.S. counterintelligence program that helped decrypt Soviet messages.

There are 5×5 matrices that were used to decrypt these codes, and they refer to other Warzone locations, including Quarry, Boneyard, and Prison. Furthermore, two code words – ZEPHYR and TRIDENT – were written on two of the documents.

Below the TV is a sticky note written by / TANGLEDWEB and / EMC2. Going to pawntakespawn.com/tangledweb and pawntakespawn.com/emc2 will take you to two more pages with even more info.

/ TANGLEDWEB has an introductory letter discussing how “Wars are won not only on the battlefield, but behind closed doors.” It ends with saying, “know your history”, which appeared in Warzone last week as part of a flashing message on screen.

/ EMC2 contains another comment that originally said “8/14 – END: 1962-62.” After the discovery in the Farmland, “8/15 – DAY TWO:” was made public, with the rest of the document being returned.

There are four more redacted lines, possibly suggesting that we get a new hint every day until a potential official reveal of Call of Duty 2020 on Wednesday, August 19th.

Stay tuned to IGN for all future updates, all leading up to the official reveal of Call of Duty 2020, which, if leaks are correct, could be called Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

Although we do not officially know much about this new Call of Duty, we do know that it is being developed by Treyarch and Raven Software and will be integrated with Call of Duty: Warzone.
