Now that the installation of Call of Duty has been officially unveiled in 2020 to be called Black Ops Cold War, the next step is the worldwide reveal, and we have all the details that are out there so far.
Activision caught the Call of Duty player base by surprise on August 19, releasing the first teaser trailer for the next game of the series after sending players on an enormous easter hunt filled with puzzles and clues.
While the trailer did not include gameplay, it confirmed what everyone already knew from the previous leaks – the game is called Black Ops Cold War and seems to take place in the period between 1960 and the mid-1980s.
For as many questions as the video answers, however, it drew twice as much, leaving the community in a hazy breath waiting for the full reveal of the title. Fortunately, we do not have to wait long!
When was the CoD 2020 Black Ops Cold War announced?
According to the teaser, the worldwide reveal will take place on Wednesday 26 August. The exact time is yet to be announced, but we will bring that to you as soon as it is available.

Will Black Ops Cold War Be Revealed in Warzone?
Yes – the description below the trailer on YouTube includes the phrase: “Know your history or be condemned to repeat it. Verdansk. August 26,” which is a clear indication that what is happening in Warzone will be.
The official Roadmap Season 5 shows that a “mid-season event” is planned at some point, and it is more than likely that this event is tied to the discovery of BOCW.
At this point, Activision has not announced any details on how this in-game reveal will take place. However, it is worth noting that the Pawn Takes Pawn website, where all clues to Easter eggs were released in the run-up to the trailer, has been updated to include a new roll of film dated August 26th.
The website Pawn Takes Pawn Black Ops Cold War now shows a movie roll dated for August 26th.
If the same trend is followed with the reel as it was for all previous VHS tapes, then it should contain coordinates for a specific location on the Warzone map along with the combination of how to insert / unlock it.
That could be the last clue needed to officially determine exactly where the event will take place; however, we do not know for sure, because it is only the most likely scenario based on what has happened up to this point.
