Black Ops Cold War is NOW LIVE!
It’s official: Launch Day has arrived! Black Ops Cold War is out now on PlayStation® 5 (Australia, Japan, New Zealand, North America, Singapore, South Korea; rest of world availability Nov. 19th), PlayStation 4, the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, and PC via Battle.net – all offering a cross-gen, cross-platform experience with unified progression.
This is our most comprehensive Black Ops offering yet, stretching across Campaign, Multiplayer, Zombies, and Dead Ops Arcade, running on both current and next-gen platforms during the launch of a new console generation. Black Ops Cold War also ushers in the next evolution of Warzone™, particularly as we head into Season One with new Operators, weapons, and game content coming to Verdansk for millions of players around the world.
This is also the first cross-play, cross-gen, and cross-progression game in franchise history, and for the first time, we’re delivering free post-launch Multiplayer and Zombies content for everyone to enjoy with their friends across all platforms. It’s a big milestone for us, and we’re excited to bring the community together even further.
This year has presented a host of new challenges that we’ve never had to face before as game developers. Working from home has required all of us to pivot and innovate in unprecedented ways, and it’s been a massive team effort to ship the next Call of Duty title under such extraordinary circumstances. We’re incredibly thankful to all of our teams for making the impossible happen, and we’re immensely proud of the game you’ll be playing at launch. And as always, today is just the beginning.
NEW FREE CONTENT INCOMING
As you may have already seen in our first post-launch roadmap, there’s much more to come just around the corner. Our biggest year of free content kicks off with the launch of Nuketown ’84 on Nov. 24th for all players, and with Season One starting on December 10th, we’re going all-out.
Here’s just a preview of what to expect in Season One:
- New 6v6 maps, modes, and content
- Gunfight returns with new 2v2 maps and modes
- New Fireteam map and content
- New Zombies modes and content
- New Warzone experience: ***CLASSIFIED***

As always, keep an eye out for a special holiday event later in the year as we finally put a bow on 2020. More details to come!
