It’s totally just a bit of game marketing and not a terrifying comment on the current state of a certain world power…
Inspired by true events, we can glean some of Cold War’s potential plot from the teaser. It’ll probably have more than a little to do with Perseus, an actual Soviet spy who, allegedly, infiltrated the Manhattan Project back in Word War II, stole some of its atomic secrets, and was never caught – oooeeeeooo.
Developed by Raven Software and Treyarch, Cold War will be the fifth instalment in the Call of Duty: Black Ops series.
We’ll get to know more about Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War (hopefully including what the title punctuation actually is) at its big reveal on 26 August.
