The game will be officiallyrevealed inWarzoneon August 26, and ONL isn’t happening until a full day after the huge in-game event. Details are still fuzzy about what kind of content either event will drop, but it’s probable that they’ll be pretty different given that Keighley is calling the ONLBlack Ops Cold Warpresentation a “world premiere new look.” The mysteriousness of that phrase is serving Keighley well, since it’s drumming up a bunch of speculation and fan theorizing about what will be revealed.

There’s a ton of new information bombarding fans about the game, and the build-up is getting high enough that the ONL presentation is going to have to be big to keep riding the wave.
There’s a lot of info that the ONL premiere could cover, and while Gamescom could just play an action-packed cinematic to whet players' appetites for playing the game, it’d be cool to get more information on something like theleakedBlack Ops Cold Warpre-order bonuses. While fans already have some idea of what to expect there, what could make the ONL reveal really unique is to give players some kind of details they couldn’t get elsewhere. However, everything is just speculation at this point and Keighley is being purposefully cryptic about what angle the ONL event will take.
