Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is Confirmed for Gamescom
On paper, the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 campaign sounds plenty exciting. The story takes place after the events of Black Ops Cold War and the past missions of Black Ops 2, and sees the return of fan favorite character Frank Woods. The mission design is said to take its cues from past Call of Duty games, so fans should be able to expect plenty of variety in one mission to the next, not to mention the franchise's signature over-the-top set-pieces.
Of course, the campaign is just one piece of the Call of Duty puzzle. Those wanting to learn more about the co-op Zombies mode and the PvP multiplayer will instead want to turn their attention to August 28. The annual Call of Duty NEXT event takes place on that day, and that's where the biggest deep dive on Black Ops 6 will take place.

WHERE TO PLAY
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, 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. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
