Activision, and developers Treyarch and Raven Software, have announced Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

The latest entry in the shooter franchise is a spy action thriller set in the early 1990s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. Development on the Black Ops 6 Campaign is led by Raven Software, in partnership with Treyarch. Following the events of Black Ops Cold War, the fictional story builds on the history of the time, thrusting 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.

In multiplayer, players can expect 16 new maps at launch, including 12 Core 6v6 maps and four small-sized Strike maps, the latter of which are unique, stand-alone locations designed to be played in 2v2 or Face Off 6v6 matches. Multiplayer also features Omnimovement system – allowing you to sprint, slide and dive in any direction – as well as Intelligent Movement, increased enemy hit zones, an expanded lineup of gear, HUD optimizations, and the return of Theater Mode and Classic Prestige.

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

Unlike the previous entry in the franchise, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Modern Warfare III content will not carry forward to the Black Ops 6 Premium experience. Carry Forward content for players of Call of Duty: Warzone will continue, with Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, and Black Ops 6 content being integrated with the arrival of Season 1.

Complete initial details can be found at the Call of Duty blog.

Black Ops 6 is releasing worldwide on Friday, October 25 for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5.
