Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Season 1 will begin on December 10, giving fans enough time to finish their current battle pass. In the upcoming content, is new maps, modes, guns, and more, but one piece of information stands out. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's Season 1 promotion promises a "Classified" Call of Duty: Warzone experience.
It's unknown exactly what that means and the image provided does not hint at much. What fans do know is that Call of Duty: Warzone will be integrating with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War shortly after the official release. In this transition, the game will remain relatively the same, with some new game modes expected to be implemented in Call of Duty: Black Ops' style.
Prior to this announcement, there were predictions and rumors regarding Call of Duty: Warzone's next chapter alongside Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. While some fans believe that this upcoming "Classified" experience is a new map, many fans are instead expecting a variant game mode themed around Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's campaign. Call of Duty: Warzone has just gone through a special limited-time event with the Halloween Haunting of Verdansk. Slipping in an alternate game mode, and labeling it "Classified," could be an easy start without disrupting standard Call of Duty: Warzone play.
Based on the promotional image, some text can be made out giving an idea into the possible classified operation. The words Symptoms, Coughing, Death, and Vomiting can be seen among the blacked-out information. References to sulfur and other chemicals along with an undiscovered island located somewhere in the Aral Sea are barely visible among the blood and grime on the image.
While Call of Duty: Warzone's city of Verdansk is located in Ukraine, the Aral Sea is located in Kazakhstan several countries away. In modern times, the Aral Sea is more of a lake that has slowly been disappearing over the years. What is interesting is during the 1980s, when Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is set, the Aral sea was still very full and relatively large.
This would suggest that a new Call of Duty: Warzone map is possible and could be set on the island that resides in the middle of the 1980s Aral Sea or in the nearby marked city of Aral of Cosmo. Until the content is officially released, fans are just left guessing at another Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War puzzle.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is set to release on November 13th for Pc, PS4, Ps5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
