The original version of the trailer has been set to personal, and the reuploaded version has actually removed this messaging. The Black Ops Cold War site still says that “the PlayStation 5 variation of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is set up for release Holiday 2020 in the United States and Canada, and in late 2020 for the rest of the world.”.
More recently, the release window on the UK version of Sonys PS5 item page was altered from vacation 2020 to late 2020. The staggered release of Black Ops Cold War could be chalked up to the video game itself, but with Sonys pages now mirroring this timeline, its looking more and more most likely that the PS5 will come to North America prior to other areas.
In a May interview with GamesIndustry, Sony CEO Jim Ryan said that, “We are going to release this holiday and were going to introduce internationally.” Last month, Eric Lempel, senior vice president and worldwide marketing head at Sony, affirmed that “we will release this year – that will occur.” These declarations recommend that, even if the PS5 release is rather staggered, the console will be available in all regions before completion of the year. This would not be a huge surprise, seeing as how the PS4 came to the PAL areas two weeks after it got here in North America, but Japan just got it a number of months later. Heres hoping the PS5 international release is a bit tighter..

More just recently, the release window on the UK variation of Sonys PS5 item page was changed from vacation 2020 to late 2020. A recent entry on the Wayback Machine validates that the UK page revealed a vacation 2020 launch as recently as a few weeks earlier, and the United States page still states holiday 2020. The staggered release of Black Ops Cold War could be chalked up to the game itself, but with Sonys pages now matching this timeline, its looking more and more likely that the PS5 will come to North America prior to other regions.
PS5 may pertain to North America prior to other regions as part of a staggered worldwide launch, according to 2 upgraded product pages..
This has been hypothesized since the release of a Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War trailer submitted to the main PlayStation Youtube channel previously today. The trailer broke down the numerous digital editions for the video game, and as Twitter user Riaan van Wyk noted at the time, it stated that the PS5 variation of the game would come to the United States and Canada in holiday 2020, and to the “remainder of the world” in late 2020..
