The introduction for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has been uploaded as an unlisted video on the official YouTube channel of the game series. Titled Know Your History, the first introduction for Black Ops Cold War evokes strong espionage vibes introduced by the original Black Ops game. The video does not include any in-game footage or gameplay, instead utilizing real-world footage from various historical American conflicts.
The trailer concludes with the slogan 'Know your history, or be doomed to repeat it'. While not explicitly stated, it appears that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will operate as a soft reboot of the Black Ops game. Instead of the futuristic, sci-fi settings seen in other games, COD: Black Ops Cold War seems to rewind time to the 1960s of the original Black Ops game.
