A promotional campaign by the chip manufacturer Doritos confirms the name of the new Call of Duty 2020 and reveals a possible release. The shooter is said to be titled Black Ops Cold War and could be released as early as October.
This is what happened: A promotional campaign on the chip packaging of Doritos promotes a contest where players can win double experience points for an entire year. But not for Call of Duty Modern Warfare, but for the next title in the series: CoD Black Ops Cold War.
Thus, the name has been confirmed, which had already been established by some leakers for a while. The more interesting detail is hidden in the fine print.
Release as early as October
When will Black Ops Cold War be released? The Doritos packaging naturally states the terms and conditions, including the start and end of the campaign:
- The campaign starts on October 5, 2020
- The campaign ends on January 31, 2021
It is therefore likely that Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War will be released towards the end of October. Last year, there was a similar campaign by the beverage manufacturer Mountain Dew in collaboration with CoD for Call of Duty Modern Warfare, which started in the first week of October, and the title was then released on October 25, 2019. Mountain Dew and Doritos both belong to the PepsiCo corporation, so the chip manufacturer could proceed similarly with the promotion.
This could happen in CoD Black Ops Cold War: In a leak from last week, data miners found additional details about Call of Duty 2020. The story mode of the title allows us to take a small world tour, visiting regions in Russia, Germany, Vietnam, and Nicaragua. This would fit well with a “Cold War” setting.

However, these details have not been officially confirmed by Activision or Infinity Ward. Do you believe that the remaining leaks are also true and what do you wish for this setting?
