Ever since Activision dropped the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War reveal trailer, information on the game has been coming out nonstop. This includes information on what fans of the franchise can get if they decide to pre-order the new game, with the pre-order bonuses for Black Ops Cold War shown at the end of the reveal trailer.
Perhaps the biggest selling point for the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War digital pre-order is early access to the open beta. Activision has confirmed that a Black Ops Cold War open beta will take place for the game at some point before launch, with rumors pointing to the beta happening at some point in October. Specifics as to when the open beta will start or how far in advance fans will get to play it have yet to be revealed. In any case, those on PS4 will get even earlier access to the Black Ops Cold War open beta than those on PC or Xbox.

The other pre-order bonus for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available instantly to everyone regardless of platform. Those that decide to pre-order Black Ops Cold War digitally right now ill get instant access to the special Frank Woods Operator Bundle, which includes access to the titular Black Ops fan favorite character, as well as a special Assault Rifle weapon blueprint.
While some may be satisfied with the Frank Woods Operator Bundle as a pre-order bonus, others may be waiting to learn a bit more about the open beta before they decide to pre-order the new game. It’s quite possible that more information on the beta will come during the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War multiplayer reveal event, itself scheduled to take place at some point on September 9. More details on that should come to light sooner rather than later, including exactly when the Black Ops Cold War multiplayer reveal will take place on that day.
Meanwhile, there’s a third piece to the Black Ops Cold War puzzle that fans are waiting to learn more about as well. While a lot of attention has been given to the Black Ops Cold War campaign and multiplayer, the game will also be bringing back the popular Zombies mode. Activision hasn’t revealed when Black Ops Cold War will properly showcase its Zombies mode, but it will likely happen at some point after the multiplayer event on September 9.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War launches November 13 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions also in development.
