In May 2019, it was reported that Treyarch would take over the Call of Duty 2020 project following tensions between Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software during the development of the game. On August 4, 2020, Activision announced that Treyarch and Raven Software were co-developing the game which would be known as Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. The two studios focused on different parts of the game; Raven Software designed the Campaign mode while Treyarch developed its Multiplayer and Zombies modes.
While sharing "underlying technology" with the revamped engine from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Black Ops Cold War used a different iteration of the IW Engine whose tools and technologies were created in 2015 starting with Call of Duty: Black Ops III and rebuilt "to be scalable and broad to work on future platforms". The technologies included Real Time Lighting which allowed "the lighting to be adjusted in real time during development" as well as global illumination and ray-tracing. The game would also showcase volumetric fog. On the next-gen platforms Black Ops Cold War supports 4K resolution and 120 frame-per-second.

Nothing is ever as it seems in a gripping single-player Campaign, where players will come face-to-face with historical figures and hard truths, as they battle around the globe through iconic locations like East Berlin, Vietnam, Turkey, Soviet KGB headquarters and more."

The campaign was co-written by Murray Kraft, Lead Narrative Designer at Raven Software, and David S. Goyer who was a story consultant on Black Ops and co-wrote Call of Duty: Black Ops II. For its main protagonist, Bell, Raven decided to allow the players to create their own character by choosing their name, race, gender and backstory . The NPC characters will react differently based on the gender (male, female or non-binary). While Bell will remain silent throughout the campaign, players will be able to pick various dialog lines that will change the way the missions would play out. Players will also be able to choose one out of 15 "physiological profiles" for Bell that will slightly affect the gameplay, giving bonus to the players. Choosing "Paranoid" will increase the aim down sight (ADS) speed, "Violent Tendencies" will increase bullet damage, "Lone Wolf" will allow player to sprint longer, "Professional" will give full movement speed while ADS.
