The intel has dropped for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Kicking off the recent Xbox Games Showcase 2024 was Call of Duty Black Ops 6, which was given the release date of October 25th for Xbox, PlayStation and PC, it will also be a day one addition to Game Pass. Check out the reveal trailer below.
The games campaign will throw players into the early 1990s, a time when pagers were the device to have for portable contact, but also when the games story thrusts you into a strange and clandestine conspiracy where a shadowy force has infiltrated the U.S. government.
Anyone who resists is branded as a traitor, forcing players to go rogue for the first time to fight the very machine that created them. Nothing is what it seems, and the truth may be hard to fathom, drawing you ever deeper into intrigue, distrust, and mind-bending psychological revelations.
Multiplayer is also kicking off big in the game as players will get 16 brand new maps at launch, with 12 maps designed for 6v6 and the four remaining perfect for 2v2, or 6v6 if you want chaos.
Multiplayer is also where you’ll test your skills and learn how to move like an action hero, with innovations like Omnimovement – allowing you to sprint, slide and dive in any direction – as well as Intelligent Movement (sprinting, mantling, and crouch assists allowing you to focus on achieving incredible and complex maneuvers with ease), increased enemy hit zones, an incredible lineup of gear, HUD optimizations, and the return of Theater Mode and Classic Prestige

Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favourite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead. Expect two brand-new maps at launch, and an impressive number of secrets to discover.
