Treyarch has unveiled the Black Ops Cold War Season 1 gameplay trailer, and it’s chock full of reveals, including the first look at new Warzone map ‘Rebirth Island,’ as well as new Call of Duty operator Stitch and the season’s “Raid” map.

The new Black Ops Cold War teaser trailer, first revealed during The Game Awards 2020 livestream, has confirmed a number of early details on the title’s first season.

The blockbuster trailer opens on a series of battles across Rebirth Island, the new “close-combat” Warzone map being added in Season 1. The battle royale’s new operator Vikhor Kuzmin, a villain who goes by the name “Stitch,” also made his Black Ops Cold War debut in the 122-second trailer.

“You have no idea what’s coming…” the scarred operator warns in the trailer.

The teaser preview ends with the main squad, including Black Ops Cold War main character Adler, being captured by Stitch’s forces. The new operator tells his men to “kill the rest,” but promises he will deal with Adeler personally.

Black Ops Cold War Season One will be adding "Stitch" as a new operator.

The Black Ops Cold War Season One trailer also confirms “Raid,” a new map coming in Treyarch’s title, will be added in the next content release.

Raid is a legendary Call of Duty map that first debuted back in Black Ops II. The sprawling luxury complex sits above Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles, and has fighting areas in living spaces, a huge courtyard, a basketball court, and more.

The reworked map will be available from the start of the season, and will be based around 6v6 combat. Treyarch has also confirmed the map’s “three-lane design” will, of course, be returning again in the Black Ops Cold War remake later this year.

There’s plenty of content coming to Warzone aside from the new map, mode, and Gulag. Once the Dec. 16 integration takes place, all of the guns in Black Ops Cold War’s multiplayer will be available in the battle royale.

That means players will be able to pick between BOCW or Modern Warfare loadouts.

Furthermore, the progression systems of Warzone, BOCW, and MW will be unified into a single structure, allowing players to level up simultaneously across all three titles by playing any of them — it’s going to be a huge update!
