Fan anticipation continues to grow as Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War edges even closer to a full release, as the multiplayer reveal is scheduled for tomorrow with Activision on high alert managing all leaks until the reveal.
The Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta is planned for September 12, and Activision has distributed beta keys to 10,000 fans. Although the beta is still a few days out, players are already cheering for an early look into the new multiplayer experience.
The keys are being described as "nuclear launch codes," each packaged with a unique envelope and "official" design. Although the Warzone 'Nuke Event' has not happened, fans are still growing in excitement for a world-ending possibility. All of the nuclear code packages included a key along with some other minor promotional items including a notebook and a neat looking sticker. Fans that received the package were quick to report their findings on Twitter with some feeds holding not so accidental launch code leaks.
Information on the Launch Code card provides the specifications of the nuke itself. Fans now know that the launch code's nuke is a 2 pule solid-fueled rocket engine with a range of 110 miles of 200km, which has a blast yield of 17 or roughly 210 kilotons and is designed to be deployed through an aircraft launch. This presumed nuke event might be the perfect time for Warzone to transition between Modern Warfare and Cold War, so fans are hoping that more information will be provided with the multiplayer reveal, as these codes are sure to connect to something deeper.
It is important to note that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has already been through an alpha wave of fans. Leaked footage showed that make pros and YouTubers did play the game early but are unable to give out information about the title until after the multiplayer reveal.
Previously, the Activision placed DMCA strikes on all multiplayer leaked footage and is expected to continue to monitor all social media and leaker accounts while trying to keep its multiplayer experience under wraps. As classified information goes, this only drives fans further into investigating the many multiplayer possibilities. Tomorrow will be a big day for Call of Duty fans as the entire world views the upcoming reveal at 10 AM PT or 12 PM CT. From official information to full alpha disclosure from the YouTuber community, fans are sure to have all their questions answered in one massive reveal.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is set to release on November 13th for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
