Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris only days away from its multiplayer reveal, and while this event isn’t going to require a massive easter egg hunt inWarzone, it should be providing players with a bit more than a two minute trailer. Multiplayer forBlack Ops Cold Warwill be shown at 10 AM PT on September 9th across Twitch.
The time was confirmed by the officialCall of DutyTwitter account, with the additional description providing the plan to show off the “new maps, modes and experiences” ofBlack Ops Cold War. It was also confirmed that “the biggest streamers in the world” are going to “come together withCall of Dutydevelopers” to show off the game. This is a bit ironic considering a streamer was responsible forleaking seven minutes ofBlack Ops Cold Warmultiplayer recently, but the logic behind this type of reveal is clear.

Showcasing the game this way makes sense, as it will allow for varied gameplay from different perspectives and with different loadouts.DifferentBlack Ops Cold Warmultiplayer perks, which also leaked recently, can be shown off through this reveal setup as well. How long the game will be streamed for is unclear at this time, though YouTube breakdowns of the Twitch streams and maybe even more gameplay can be expected after the event ends.
What modes will be shown off in the multiplayer reveal was also not shared, thoughBlack Ops Cold War’sleaked VIP extraction modeseems like a strong candidate for the event. The mode will be round-based and only allow one life per round, however, meaning something like Team Deathmatch or Domination will likely be shown too so that players can get a feel for the classic arcade shooter gameplayCoDis known for. Whether the reveal event shows any newWarzonegameplay is unclear but seems unlikely given the event’s focus being kept purely on traditional multiplayer.
Regardless, it will be exciting to finally get some answers on the massive, vehicle-filled desert map from the end of the game’s reveal trailer. TraditionalCall of Dutygameplay is clearly a thing based on therecently leakedBlack Ops Cold Warfootage, so how exactly that clip plays into the overall collection of content remains to be seen. Considering how different that gameplay was from the leaked footage, perhaps the desert map is part of an entirely different mode like Ground War fromModern Warfareor even War fromCall of Duty: WW2.
Considering thatCall of Duty WW2may haveleakedBlack Ops Cold War’sbeta start date, it would be interesting to see another connection between the two games.Black Ops Cold Waris more likely to follow the path laid byModern Warfarethan take inspiration fromWW2, though. Fans are only a few days away from getting answers on the desert map in the September 9th reveal, and now they know to be ready at 10 AM PT for an official look at the game’s online play.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warwill be available November 13th on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X upgrades will also be available.
