After plenty of months of leaks, and a couple of recent weeks of teasing, Activision finally announced Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War last week, and confirmed that a full reveal of the game will be coming on later this weel within Call of Duty: Warzone. Ahead of that, they’ve started sharing some new details.

As reportedly by Charlie INTEL on Twitter, Activision have recently been sending out promotional emails for the shooter’s upcoming reveal, and in those emails, they’ve confirmed that the game will be exclusive to Blizzard’s Battle.net launcher on PC. Considering the fact that last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and other past Call of Duty games have also launched as Battle.net exclusives, this doesn’t come as a surprise, though it will surely be a controversial decision nonetheless.

Meanwhile, it’s also been confirmed that the game’s PC version is being handled by Beenox, who also worked on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered, as well as the PC versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War’s full reveal will happen on August 26. Stay tuned for more details until then.

Just to clarify for everyone…I don’t think a Call of Duty game will ever release for PC on anything but Blizzard Battle net going forward because Activision Blizzard gets to keep 100% of the profit on PC sales versus sharing with Steam.
