Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Officially Confirmed, Full Reveal Set for June 9th

Activision has confirmed that the next Call of Duty will be Black Ops 6. After several leaks and teasers, the publisher announced last week Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. “A dark new chapter of the Black Ops franchise begins,” the official Call of Duty guide on X released on May 23, along with a short video revealing the title. Additionally, Activision has confirmed that Black Ops 6 will be fully revealed in a Direct presentation right after the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9th.

The Call of Duty maker kicked off its marketing push for the next title in its popular shooter franchise last week, unveiling a website to announce the game branded “The Truth Lies.” The next installment of the Black Ops series follows Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, which was released in 2020.

Activision and Microsoft also confirmed that next month’s Xbox Games Showcase Direct presentation will be dedicated to Black Ops 6. Microsoft’s initial showcase announcement included a redacted image that teased the next Call of Duty. Leaks, however, claimed at the time that the Direct showcase would feature the next entry in the COD franchise.

The full Black Ops 6 reveal will take place right after the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9 at 10:00 AM PT (10:30 PM IST). While Activision didn’t reveal any further details, the Direct presentation will likely debut the game’s first trailer and reveal the release date.

While Activision hasn’t revealed any details about Black Ops 6 beyond cryptic announcements, CharlieIntel, the X account that publishes Call of Duty updates, has spotted details in announcements that hint the game takes place during the Gulf War. Additionally, the leaker also posted an image on Xu, citing reddit user u/Oufp4, which purportedly reveals a GameStop pre-order listing for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. According to the listing, Black Ops 6 will also be available on PS4, suggesting that the game will be released on previous generation consoles.

Microsoft, which completed its acquisition of Call of Duty maker Activision last year, is also reportedly planning to bring the next entry in the shooter franchise to its Game Pass subscription service.
