Call of Duty®: Weekly Briefing – January 11

Call of Duty Weekly Briefings are back for 2021.

Set for release every Monday on the Call of Duty Blog, this series is the official source of news, playlist updates, and other information related to upcoming events in Call of Duty. In other words, this is your one-stop shop for week-to-week curated updates around the Call of Duty universe.

With all that said, here is what you can expect to see over the next week:

The Lead: Black Ops Cold War Mid-Season Update Coming January 14^th

Black Ops Cold War Season One is getting some major reinforcements with more new content in Multiplayer and Zombies on Thursday, Jan. 14.

Get ready for a massive new arena when your squad drops into Sanatorium, a low-wooded hills area where your team will unearth the clandestine secrets of Project Golova. Jump into a fleet of land, sea, and air vehicles and take the fight to the enemy in this sprawling new map.

Also coming with this update for Multiplayer is a brand-new 6v6 mode Dropkick, a frantic game of hot potato where two squads battle for control of a briefcase containing nuclear codes. Be the first team to score 200 points and set off an explosive ending!

Over in Zombies, get ready to crank up the intensity in Cranked, a frenetic mode where every kill resets the timer counting down your eventual doom. Spend too much time without a zombie takedown, and you’ll explode!

For those on PlayStation, Zombies Onslaught will get a new map with Raid, along with new Dark Aether intel to discover.

And don’t forget, Zombies Free Access Week starts January 14 and runs through January 21. You can read more about this free access period here.

That only scratches the surface on what’s still to come in Season One; be sure to check back into the Call of Duty Blog and Treyarch’s official blog for more intel in the coming days.
