The script also confirms that a multiplayer reveal will be happening on September 9.

This info is also being collaborated with Modern Warzone, a known COD leaker in the community. He goes on to state that Cold War will be a direct sequel to the first Black Ops game, effectively removing the sequels from being canon.

Leaked description of Cold War:

The iconic Black Ops series is back with Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War – the direct sequel to the original and fan-favorite Call of Duty®: Black Ops.

Black Ops Cold War will drop fans into the depths of the Cold War’s volatile geopolitical battle of the early 1980s. Nothing is ever as it seems in a gripping single-player Campaign, where players will come face-to-face with historical figures and hard truths, as they battle around the globe through iconic locales like East Berlin, Vietnam, Turkey, Soviet KGB headquarters and more.

As elite operatives, you will follow the trail of a shadowy figure named Perseus who is on a mission to destabilize the global balance of power and change the course of history. Descend into the dark center of this global conspiracy alongside iconic characters Woods, Mason and Hudson and a new cast of operatives attempting to stop a plot decades in the making.

Beyond the Campaign, players will bring a Cold War arsenal of weapons and equipment into the next generation of Multiplayer and Zombies experiences.

Welcome to the brink. Welcome to Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War.

To help back up these leaks a couple of video files have also leaked revolving around the rumored pre-order bonus of Sergeant Woods being a playable operator in Modern Warfare and Warzone. Down below you’ll find a rough cut of his introduction along with a kill animation.

It is said that Woods will be a pre-order bonus for Cold War. Additionally early access to an open beta is also referenced in the game’s files. Some images of the Black Ops Cold War cross-gen bundle and ultimate editions were also found in the latest update. We reported on these previously.

Furthermore, there are some indication that tomorrow’s Black Ops Cold War Warzone live event will have some rewards tied to it for players to earn upon completion. There are also hints of Zombies being added for a new Battle Royale mode, although that isn’t specified as part of the live event or as a new experience coming after Cold War release.
