Fans will not have to wait much longer for the gameplay premiere of Season 1 of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. New guns, new maps, new modes, and more are headed to the Call of Duty: Black ops Cold War, and the first taste is going to be shown at The Game Awards 2020.
Treyarch and Activision have already shown off a story cinematic trailer for Season 1 of Black Ops Cold War, but gameplay has yet to be seen. Many fans are excited to see what the new season will have, as it will both add new content and add features that players have been waiting for, like Call of Duty: Warzone integration.
Season 1 was originally planned to release on December 10, which happens to be the same day as The Game Awards. But the update to integrate Warzone to Black Ops Cold War was delayed to December 16. This means that instead of playing Season 1 on Thursday night, fans will have to be content with simply watching it via the reveal at the awards.
Some elements of Season 1 of the newest Call of Duty are already known. Activision has revealed that Season 1 will see a classic Black Ops 2 map return, as well as the mode Gunfight. Gunfight, in particular, is interesting as it was a brand new entry in 2019's Modern Warfare. Gunfight sees small teams (usually 2) facing off against each other in single life rounds with limited time to fight, in very small maps. The mode caught on for a lot of fans, so it receiving the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War treatment is neat.
The biggest part of the update will likely be the integration of battle royale. Warzone has seen 85 million players since it launched earlier this year, and it is about to get even more with the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War crowd. The update is reported to give players a brand new map to play in, as well as all of the weapons, perks, and more from Black Ops Cold War.
A lot is in store at The Game Awards 2020, including so many exciting winners for things like game of the year, best art direction, best performance, and more. But along with the winners, Geoff Keighley is set to have many reveals in store for fans. Some of which, like Season 1 for Black Ops Cold War, have already been announced. Others will likely be surprises, which is why it will be thrilling to tune it.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
