Though early previews coming out today focused on the single-player campaign, one detail that came out was that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War won't just be launching on both generations of consoles - it will also feature cross-generational multiplayer alongside the cross-platform play that's been present in recent versions of the game. However, Ubisoft said that it would not be increasing the prices on its next-generation games this holiday - though it left room open for price hikes in the future. This follows a trend kicked off by Take-Two when it announced earlier this year that NBA 2K21 would cost $70 on next-generation consoles, which CEO Strauss Zelnick said "reflected the quality of the experience". The same situation exists on PS5, with a $60 PS4 edition, a $70 cross-generational version, and a $90 Ultimate Edition that includes cross-generation play as well as other perks. However, it appears that rather than implement Smart Delivery on Xbox Series X, Activision has instead opted for a cross-generational bundle that costs $70 and gives access to the game on both Xbox generations, while the Xbox One-only version of the game costs $60. This year's Call of Duty game has been revealed to be the rumored Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, which launches on November 13 on both generations of consoles - though the price is a bit steeper for the new generation.Īccording to USGamer, the latest Call of Duty takes place as the title indicates, during the Cold War, and focuses on a number of "What if?"s and conspiracy theories from the time period - with then-president Ronald Reagan as a central figure in the game's campaign.
