A new countdown timer connected to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has appeared but so far, details seem slim as to what it is counting down to. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War puzzle finders have already started the search and begun theory-crafting on social media and community forums.
The countdown ran on the official Call of Duty YouTube channel for a full hour. Throughout the broadcast, listeners could hear numbers being read out in a repeating pattern. These numbers eventually led to an interesting new teaser website with a number of different options.
Upon entering the site, players are asked to choose their username. Once any name has been entered, the site prompts players to input varying codes, which lead to different programs. Depending on the code, players can unlock anything from new information to a strange minigame involving the RC-XD. This Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War puzzle has yet to provide anything extremely useful, but that has not stopped the game's community from digging.
For now, it is unknown what the purpose of the teaser site is. The only information that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players have uncovered is a brief biography of Vikhor Kuzmin that explains he is an enemy of Russell Adler after losing an eye in their last confrontation.
Based on the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 1 trailer, Vikhor Kuzmin could very likely be the person on the cover. If this is true, they plan to let out the deadly toxin and endanger the world on a quest for revenge.
Players are expecting more information in the days leading up to December 16th. Call of Duty: Warzone will be fully integrated, and the entire game will be receiving a rather large update. A new map, 30 new weapons, and a brand new battle pass debut alongside more information on what to expect from the coming seasons.
This is the first time that Call of Duty has made a shift this large. While most games are replaced by the newest title, Call of Duty: Warzone seems to be growing into something new. With the integration of the two titles, many fans expect a new look at how future Call of Duty games may be handled.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
