Canceled Black Ops Cold War Battle Royale Map Potentially Leaks

Black Ops Cold War is the current mainline Call of Duty game and quite popular in the community for its return to form for the series. But what it doesn’t bring back from the previous Black Ops title is the Blackout mode or a Black Ops Cold War battle royale map in general. 

Twitter User Reportedly Leaks Cold War Battle Royale Map


Of course, with Call of Duty Warzone’s release, there is no need for this latest title to have a battle royale game mode of its own. However, many players want an official Black Ops Cold War battle royale map to connect the two popular games.

We technically got that with Rebirth Island in Season 1 of Warzone, but that isn’t enough for some players, especially since it isn’t exactly original content created for Cold War. Oddly enough, though, it looks like there would be an actual battle royale map dedicated to this game at some point.

A strange image was posted on social media recently by the Twitter account Nanikos. This Twitter account is from an unspecified programmer who has posted about Call of Duty a lot lately. But the image is particularly noteworthy for the potential information that it reveals. 

Keep in mind, though, that this is from a Twitter account of someone unproven to us. We have not had the chance to cover this user’s work in the past. There are no relevant sources for the image that have been released. The user didn’t mention if they previously worked with Treyarch or anything like that, which would have helped. 

Map Is Seemingly a Blackout Sequel Location


The Twitter user posted an image of what is, according to them, a cut Black Ops Cold War battle royale map that is not ever going to release for any of the games. They noted that they don’t care what happens to their account if Activision gets involved, hinting that there is potentially something going on behind the scenes between the two parties. 

The Black Ops Cold War battle royale map is supposedly the cut Ural Mountains map for battle royale cut at some point in development. What is weird about this whole situation is that it is seemingly hinted that developer Treyarch created it. 

It would seem that this map follows up to the Blackout battle royale map that we had in Black Ops 4 before Cold War. The map is designed in a similar way to that map and has a size to it that is immediately familiar to players.

For the most part, it does stray away from having the original Blackout map’s familiar locations, though, so don’t expect to see Nuketown Island or anything like that here. Instead, it seems that the map divides into four main biomes that we can see in the image.

What the Canceled Map Includes


There is the traditional woodsy, green area on the left side of the map, taking up the largest portion of the location, followed by the snowy region in the southeastern sector. North of the snowy area is the Chemical Labs and the lava-filled area that is there. 

A little bit to the northeast of the lava section is the mines area, where you can see a more desert-like biome. The map image isn’t the most high-quality picture, but you can see the different lakes, trees, and named locations that fill up the Black Ops Cold War battle royale map. 

What is even more interesting is when you look closer at the map and recognize some of the locations that are there but not because they are coming back from another battle royale area. Instead, they are familiar with being locations that we are familiar with in Black Ops Cold War. 

The final game includes locations on the Black Ops Cold War battle royale map, like the slopes that are presumably where one of the Fireteam maps is located, the Russian town of Golova that just released in the midseason update and the Sanatorium in the southwestern corner by the lake. 

Considering how large each of these locales is in their respective maps, it is clear that this would be pretty big in general and would encompass all of the Fireteam maps, much like what Modern Warfare and Warzone did with its Ground War locales.

Canceled Map Is Not the One Coming to Warzone Soon


This is what we wanted to see from Warzone, as it would have made sense to come out with a Cold War-themed map that included Fireteam locations like the Sanatorium and so on. However, there is something weird about this whole situation. 

The Twitter user who leaked this Black Ops Cold War battle royale map noted that this cut Ural Mountains location is not the map coming to Call of Duty Warzone later this month on April 22. We already know a new map is coming to Warzone due to the myriad of leaks and rumors. 

According to this person, the new map is not this one that has been leaked even though it would make the most sense. It seems that Treyarch developed this map as a possible Blackout sequel one but didn’t need it in the end due to Warzone taking off as the premier Call of Duty battle royale experience. 

But it is worth noting that this is just an unconfirmed rumor at this point from the user as we have no idea what the new map is going to be just yet. Plus, they have not provided any way to verify what they are saying is true, so stay tuned for now until we have more info about this strange situation.
