The video showed off a hooded figure, who addressed viewers in an electronically altered voice. This figure brought up the topic of heroes, pointing out that every side has them. Fans cheer these heroes on as they train and fight for the side that they’ve sworn an oath to. However, the figure brings up an interesting question: what happens if the loyalty that these individuals have sworn to a side is betrayed.
The figure went on to question what the viewer would do if they found out everything they knew was a lie. The figure continues to ask similar questions, framing the reality as “just a game of lies, cover-ups, and disinformation” that every side has, claiming that “we are all pawns.” At the end of the video, the figure asksCall of Dutyfansto join him so that they can see the truth.
After the video interrupted theCall of DutyLeague Championships, a website also came back online, called “Pawn Takes Pawn.” If one goes to the website, selects the computer monitor on the screen, and types “zork” into the text box, the user will be taken to a text-based game calledZork, referencing the hidden game previously found in the series. It doesn’t seem to recognize many words, but fans are hard at work trying to crack the code of the story to see what Activision and the hooded figure are leaving them to find.
The lead up toCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warhas been filled with cryptic puzzles like this latest edition as well as the crates that were shipped out to various Twitch streamers and other content creators. While the Zork game is leaving fans puzzled, it likely won’t take long for theCall of Dutycommunityto crack the code.
