Activision and developers Treyarch and Raven Software have announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be released on October 25. The game promises to deliver the most breathtaking and spectacular Black Ops action to date, with an increasing scope that will span a globetrotting campaign, robust multiplayer offerings, and the return of round-based Zombies gameplay.
The game’s campaign will be set in the aftermath of the Cold War era, in the early 1990s, and will blend stealth-based gameplay with blockbuster action in locations across Russia, the Middle East, southern Europe, and the United States. The game will feature a new, refined movement model called Omnimovement, which will allow players to move realistically and seamlessly chain movements like a real action hero.
Black Ops 6 will also include new multiplayer maps, including 12 core 6v6 maps and four Strike maps that can be played as 2v2 or 6v6. The game will also see the return of Classic Prestige, with “always something to progress toward.” Additionally, the game will include HUD presets, which will let players move the minimap and remove HUD elements for a minimalist interface.
The game’s Zombies mode will also make a return, with two new maps at launch, Liberty Falls and Terminus, and all the associated secrets that Zombies players have come to expect over the past 15 years.
Black Ops 6 will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, and will be available on all platforms. Game Pass subscribers will get access to the game day one, with Xbox subscribers getting access to the Digital Cross-Gen Bundle (for Xbox One and Series X) and PC Game Pass subscribers getting access to the standard edition of the game.
