How to watch the Black Ops Cold War unfold in Call of Duty: Warzone
To watch the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War reveal in Warzone, all you need to do is make sure you're logged in at the right time. The reveal event takes place on August 26 at 10:30 a.m. PT. If you're not sure what time your time zone is, we've provided a list of times and dates below.
26 August:
- 12h30 CT
- 13 h 30 HE
- 18:30 p.m. UK
- 19:30 CEST
27 August:
- 2h30 JST
- 03h30 AEST
While it's unclear exactly what the live event will be, Activision has provided a specific time for a reason. This will most likely be similar to the live events of other games like Fortnite or Destiny 2, so you'll want to make sure you're in Verdansk on August 26 at 10:30 am PT. You probably won't be able to view the event from the menu either, so try to enter a match when everything goes down.
There has been a lot of speculation about what the event will entail, but only time will tell what is actually in store for Verdansk. Many have speculated that the mysterious bunkers spread across the Warzone map would play a role in the reveal, as Cold War technology and weapons were found inside some of them. Others believe it is possible that a nuclear bomb will go off and change Verdansk's map forever. Call of Duty: Warzone will continue to receive support after Black Ops Cold War launches, so it's inevitable that the game will receive an injection of Black Ops content at one point or another.
What if I miss the Warzone event?
There's a good chance the Warzone event will culminate with a reveal trailer, so you can always check it out after the fact if you miss it when it's live. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is also a live-action headliner for Gamescom's opening night on Thursday, so the Warzone reveal event won't show everything about the game. Stay tuned to Attack of the Fanboy for all things Black Ops Cold War, including a deep dive that will take place immediately following Warzone's reveal on August 26. We saw the game in action and spoke to Treyarch and Raven Software, so check back after the reveal on the 26th for impressions and more.
