Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War trailers

The footage in the teaser is comprised mostly of archival footage of a TV interview with KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov, with a hint that the story will be "inspired by actual events."

The trailer also mentions Perseus, a Soviet spy who allegedly stole secrets related to the atomic bomb and was never caught, indicating that the spy might've worked their way up the US government.

At the end of the trailer, it's revealed that there would be a worldwide reveal on August 26. It's unclear if a trailer is going to randomly drop on that day, or if the trailer will premiere on a coordinated live-stream. Given how this trailer came out, it might simply be published online.
