It’s to celebrate the beginning of Call of Duty Cold War 2021 Season 2.

It’s a huge update that adds new modes, weapons and plot.

Cold War is the latest iteration of Call of Duty, and was developed by Treyarch and Raven Software.

The game runs on the PS4, Xbox One, PC and the new PS5 and Xbox Series X.

The Cold War was a period of major tension between the USA and Soviet Union, but wasn’t an outright war in the conventional sense.

Instead, both nations supported “proxy wars” – regional conflicts used to gain global influence.

And the fact that both nations controlled nuclear weaponry meant that neither side was willing to risk a war proper.

The period is generally said to have run from 1947 through to 1991 – when the Soviet Union was dissolved.

Of course, once the trial is over, you’ll have to purchase the game at full price.

All prices in this article were correct at the time of writing, but may have since changed. Always do your own research before making any purchase.

In other news, HOAR’s favourite alternative to a games console is the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset.

Grab a VR headset and you’ll be able to play the legendary Beat Saber – like Guitar Hero, but with lightsabers.

And Dell’s Alienware R10 Ryzen Edition is a gaming PC powerhouse that crushes both the new consoles.
