Call Of Duty Players Can Unlock A Classic Villain By Preordering Black Ops 7

(*7*)

It is a day ending with “y,” so you realize what meaning: extra Call of Duty datamines and leaks. This time round, the neighborhood has discovered that preordering Black Ops 7 will resurrect Reznov, a traditional villain from the sequence’ past–in the type of an operator pores and skin, no less than.

CharlieIntel, a web page well-known for publishing particulars on the Call of Duty video games, shared a pair of posts sourced from Twitter customers HeyImAlaix and Actuality that appeared to corroborate the information. In keeping with the posts, gamers who preorder Black Ops 7 will instantly unlock the SOG Reznov pores and skin to be used in Black Ops 6 and Warzone’s newest season.

Moreover, there are a pair of variants skins–Stalingrad Reznov and Reminiscence Reznov–which will seemingly be accessible through a problem pack that can even be granted to gamers who lock in a preorder. It’s unclear if these skins or challenges will probably be made accessible to gamers by some other means. The skins seem to reference appearances of Viktor Reznov in earlier video games: Stalingrad Reznov appears to be a callback to Reznov’s first look in 2008’s Call of Duty: World at Battle, whereas Reminiscence Reznov would reference his position in 2010’s Call of Duty: Black Ops.

For individuals who might not keep in mind, Reznov–who was voiced by legendary actor Gary Oldman–has a significant position in Treyarch’s Call of Duty video games. In World at Battle, he was an ally character to the participant and exhibits up within the Battle of Stalingrad throughout World Battle II. Reznov then returned in a villainous position in Black Ops, revealing a connection between the 2 video games. Since then, Reznov has recurred all through the sequence, together with a cameo of types in Black Ops II and a flip as a playable character in Black Ops 4’s Blackout mode.

It is attainable that the return of Reznov, even simply as a pores and skin, is a tease of what is to return in Black Ops 7. Particulars of the sport are surprisingly scarce in the mean time, however the participant character David Mason, who’s being performed by Milo Ventimiglia, does have shut ties of types to Reznov. In spite of everything, Reznov’s villainous flip in Black Ops got here to gentle by way of his manipulation and brainwashing of David’s father, Alex.

Furthermore, Black Ops 7’s solely trailer is fairly trippy, and the one actual info we’ve got concerning the recreation’s villain comes from the sport’s description, the place they’re described as “a manipulative enemy who weaponizes worry above all else.” That positive appears to be like and feels like brainwashing and thoughts video games are again on the desk, of us.

Although the trailer makes it clear that David goes towards Raul Menendez, one other recurring Black Ops character and villain returning within the upcoming recreation, there isn’t any telling if there are connections between him and Reznov. The Black Ops video games have pulled some crazier stunts throughout their conspiracy theory-obsessed, alternate historical past timeline.
