Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is an upcoming first-person shooter game co-developed by Treyarch and Raven Software and published by Activision. It will be the twenty-first installment of the Call of Duty series and the seventh entry in the Black Ops sub-series, following Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (2020). Set in 1991, Black Ops 6's single-player story will follow rogue operatives Troy Marshall and Frank Woods as they assemble a team of agents to hunt down Pantheon, a clandestine force that has infiltrated the Central Intelligence Agency and branded anyone that resists them as traitors to the United States.

As with previous Black Ops games, Black Ops 6 will also include a multiplayer component and the cooperative round-based Zombies mode. The multiplayer will feature sixteen brand-new maps at launch and restore several features from previous Call of Duty titles, such as the "Prestige" leveling system. Zombies is set to include two all-new maps at launch, which will continue the mode's storyline from where it left off in Black Ops Cold War. Across all three modes, players will be able to take advantage of omnidirectional movement mechanics, allowing them to sprint, dive, and slide in any direction.

Black Ops 6 boasts the longest development cycle in Call of Duty history, spanning four years. Marketing for the game began in May 2024, through the publishing of fictional advertisements on the front pages of multiple newspaper outlets and the release of several live-action teaser trailers; a full reveal debuted following the airing of the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase event on June 9. Black Ops 6 is scheduled for release on October 25, 2024, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, and is set to be available to subscribers of select Xbox Game Pass plans on release day.

Like previous entries in the Call of Duty series, Black Ops 6 will be a first-person shooter, [3] featuring a single-player campaign, a multiplayer component, and the cooperative round-based Zombies mode. [2] New gameplay mechanics in Black Ops 6 include omnidirectional movement, which allows players to sprint, dive, and slide in any direction; [1] the game also offers various "Intelligent Movement" settings, which automate certain player actions, including sprinting and mantling. [4] Players will also be able to choose between a selection of established presets that alter the game's heads-up display (HUD); [2] this includes a "Legacy" preset for the Zombies HUD that more closely matches the layout for the HUD in Call of Duty: Black Ops III (2015). [5]

The single-player campaign will feature multiple ways to approach its missions and include dialogue trees for its cast of non-player characters (NPCs). [6] In-between missions, players will be able to access a safe house, where they will be able to plan out missions via an evidence board, apply player upgrades, and interact with NPCs. [1] Black Ops 6's multiplayer is set to include sixteen brand-new maps at launch; [6] twelve of these maps are designed for the game's core six-versus-six (6v6) game modes, and are supplemented by four "Strike" maps, which are designed for both the core 6v6 modes and a selection of two-versus-two (2v2) modes. [1] Returning multiplayer-specific features from previous Call of Duty games include the traditional "Prestige" leveling system, which allows players who have reached the maximum player level to reset it up to ten times, [7] and the "Theater" mode, enabling players to rewatch multiplayer matches from the perspective of any player. [8]

In Zombies, one to four players fight endless hordes of zombies, which increase in both number and difficulty with every completed round. [9] Zombies will feature two all-new maps—"Terminus" and "Liberty Falls"—at launch; [10] both maps will include a main quest that players must solve on their own, along with a number of side quests. A guided mode will also be included post-launch, allowing players to complete main quests with in-game assistance. [5] The mode features two primary currencies for players to manage: Essence and Salvage; the former is used to purchase doors in order to unlock new parts of the maps and to acquire various player upgrades, including "Perk-a-Cola" cans and upgrades for the player's weapon loadout from the "Pack-a-Punch" machine, while the latter is used to acquire ammo modifications for the player's weapons and build various pieces of lethal and tactical equipment. [5] Players are also able to obtain "GobbleGums", which are single-use consumables that grant the player various in-game effects and abilities, and unlock "Augments"—a set of minor and major upgrades to perks, field upgrades and ammo mods. Each gameplay item features up to three minor and major Augments, with one of each type being equippable at the same time, allowing players to customize and experiment with different play styles. [9]

Premise

Campaign

In 1991, amidst the outbreak of the Gulf War, following a failed operation in Kuwait, CIA operative Russell Adler (Bruce Thomas) re-emerges after having gone missing for several months by sending a cryptic message to fellow operative Frank Woods (Damon Victor Allen), warning him of the existence of a clandestine force called "Pantheon", which has infiltrated the highest levels of the CIA and branded anyone that resists them as traitors to the United States. This forces Woods and his protege Troy Marshall (Y'lan Noel) to go rogue and assemble a team of agents, including CIA handler Jane Harrow (Dawn Olivieri), technical genius Felix Neumann (Seamus Dever), and assassination specialist Sevati "Sev" Dumas (Karen David), to assist them in preventing Pantheon from deploying an apocalyptic weapon. [11] [2]

Zombies

Following the sacrifice of Samantha Maxis (Julie Nathanson) to seal the rift between Earth and the "Dark Aether" dimension in 1985, [lower-alpha 2] the classified CIA task force Requiem is subsequently shut down, with its members: Special Commander Grigori Weaver (Gene Farber), Doctor Elizabeth Grey (Amy Pemberton), Major Mackenzie Carver (Keston John), Doctor Oskar Strauss (Thure Riefenstein), and Captain Stoney "Raptor One" Maddox (Derek Phillips), arrested and imprisoned at Terminus Island, a remote prison in the Philippine Sea. In February 1991, the Requiem crew is broken out of Terminus Island by their former nemesis, Doctor William Peck (Zeke Alton). Working with smuggler Maya Aguinaldo, Peck proposes an alliance with Requiem to eliminate the man responsible for their misfortune: Edward Richtofen (Nolan North), the former Director of Requiem who has been heading his own classified operation, codenamed "Project Janus", at the West Virginian town of Liberty Falls. [12] [13] [14]

Development

Black Ops 6 is being co-developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, with Raven leading production on the game's single-player campaign and Treyarch developing the multiplayer and Zombies modes. [15] The game boasts the longest development cycle in Call of Duty history, spanning four years; [16] a game designer at Treyarch has stated that she had been play-testing the title since 2022. [17] Details surrounding Black Ops 6 began to surface in November 2023, when Windows Central reported that the game would be set during the Gulf War and feature a story focused on the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). [18]

Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard and its studios in 2023 marked the end of an exclusivity deal between Sony and Activision, which saw Call of Duty titles receive exclusive content and offers on PlayStation platforms. Though Microsoft had a similar deal with Activision for the Xbox consoles prior to 2015, Microsoft Gaming's CEO Phil Spencer has stated that moving forward, the franchise will have no exclusivity deals, with content parity across all supported platforms. [19]

Marketing

On May 22, 2024, a website titled "The Truth Lies" went live and was posted on Call of Duty's social media channels. The website featured several real-life video clips of global monuments, such as Mount Rushmore and Brandenburg Gate, being vandalized by a group of people, as well as fictional news reports on the vandalism. [20] The clips featured a three-headed dog logo, which was first seen in Microsoft's announcement for the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase event, [20] which stated that the event would be immediately followed by a "[REDACTED] Direct" presentation that would act as "a special deep dive into the next installment of a beloved franchise". [21]

On May 23, several newspaper outlets, such as USA Today and The New York Post , featured "The Truth Lies" advertisements on their front pages. [20] On the same day, Activision officially announced Black Ops 6 and confirmed that the [REDACTED] Direct would be centered on the game. [22] [23] The airing of the Black Ops 6 Direct presentation on June 9 featured a 25-minute long look at the title, offering insight into the game's storyline, its gameplay mechanics, and the Zombies mode; [24] further details about the multiplayer and Zombies modes, as well as details regarding Black Ops 6's integration into Call of Duty: Warzone , were revealed at the 2024 Call of Duty: Next event on August 28. [25]

Ahead of the Black Ops 6 Direct, Activision released two live-action teaser trailers for the game. [26] [27] The first teaser, titled "Open Your Eyes", was published on Call of Duty's YouTube channel on May 27. [26] It largely consists of footage from news shows and television adverts from the early 1990s, narrated by a distorted male voice, who directly speaks to the viewer, telling them to "stop being sheep and become wolves"; [26] [28] brief glimpses at gameplay footage from the title were also included in the teaser. [26] The second teaser, which featured several real-world political leaders, including former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush, former U.S. secretary of state Colin Powell, ex-UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher, and former Iraq president Saddam Hussein, was published the following day. [29] Additionally, teasers for Black Ops 6 began to appear in Warzone, including a cinematic featuring Black Ops character Frank Woods. [30]

On August 1, Treyarch and Activision revealed a new version of "The Truth Lies" website—named "The Truth Dies"—which featured teasers for the Zombies mode. [31] On August 6, a cinematic trailer for the Zombies map "Terminus" was released, along with details on the Zombies storyline for Black Ops 6 and its cast of characters; [32] a full breakdown of the mode's gameplay systems was published on the Call of Duty blog on August 8. [5] On August 20, Raven Software presented gameplay footage from the campaign at Gamescom 2024. [33] In the following days, Treyarch released a cinematic trailer for the Zombies map "Liberty Falls", [34] and premiered Jack Wall's theme song for Black Ops 6's multiplayer, which was written in collaboration with Big Giant Circles and Romes. [35]

Release

Black Ops 6 is scheduled for release on October 25, 2024, [36] for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. [37] It will also be available to subscribers of select Xbox Game Pass plans on release day, including Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass for Console. [38] The game will require a continuous internet connection to play all of its modes, including the single-player campaign; Activision has stated that the requirement is to ensure the best possible visual quality via a texture streaming feature. [39]

Those who pre-ordered Black Ops 6 or had an active subscription to Xbox Game Pass received early access to the open beta test for the game's multiplayer component. The early access period took place from August 30 to September 4, while a second period, open to all players, began on September 6 and concluded on September 9. [40]

Reception

Pre-release

Critic impressions of the open beta for Black Ops 6's multiplayer component were mostly positive. [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] Some critics particularly highlighted the omnidirectional movement system as a standout feature. [43] [41] [42] GameSpot 's S.E. Doster was "pleasantly surprised" by the omnidirectional movement, writing that it was a "well-polished mechanic" that enabled several "over-the-top plays" that she'd only expect to pull off during the scripted sequences found in Call of Duty's campaigns. [43] TheGamer 's James Troughton found the omnidirectional movement to be "exhilarating" and felt that the game's selection of maps were "some of the strongest we've had in years". [42] IGN 's Seth G. Macy wrote that Black Ops 6's gunplay felt "really good", but noted that the weapons did not feel as "weighty" as they did in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023). [41] Morgan Park of PC Gamer was more critical of Black Ops 6's open beta, directing criticism towards the game's sound design and its loadout system. [44] Screen Rant 's Cade Onder disliked a large portion of the maps that were available in the open beta, stating that they "range from some of the worst in the series to mediocre at best." [45]
