Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is a 2020 first-person shooter game co-developed by Treyarch and Raven Software and published by Activision. It is the seventeenth installment of the Call of Duty series and is the sixth entry in the Black Ops sub-series, following Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (2018). The game was released on November 13, 2020, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
Black Ops Cold War is set during the early-to-mid 1980s of the Cold War, beginning 13 years after the events of Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010). Its story centers around a pursuit of the alleged Soviet spy Perseus, whose stated goal is to subvert the United States and tilt the balance of power toward the Soviet Union. The game's multiplayer component carries over some design choices introduced in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) and continues to support cross-platform play and progression. For the Zombies mode, Treyarch introduced several changes to the mode's core gameplay and the new "Dark Aether" storyline, acting as a sequel to the "Aether" storyline, which was concluded in Black Ops 4.
The game was originally developed by Raven and Sledgehammer Games and was not intended to be an entry in the Black Ops sub-series. However, the development suffered from disagreements among the two teams, resulting in Activision placing Treyarch in charge of the game's development in 2019, with Raven acting as a co-developer to them. Marketing for the game began in August 2020 and was done in different forms, including certain Call of Duty content creators receiving slide projectors, puzzles made to be solved online by fans, and a website showcasing historical Cold War events. A public multiplayer beta for the game was also made live in October.
Upon release, Black Ops Cold War received generally favorable reviews from critics, and became the best-selling title of 2020 in the United States. A sequel, titled Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, is scheduled for release on October 25, 2024.
