Ever since Treyarch brought back Gunfight mode to Black Ops 6, players have been longing for the return of another popular mode: Gun Game. It’s not the first time that Gun Game arrives late to a Call of Duty game, as in previous entries, the mode was introduced months after release.

Activision has just released a Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 2 launch trailer, introducing players to the upcoming content in the seasonal update. A highlight of the trailer is the return of the long-awaited Gun Game mode on January 28. Alongside it, Season 2 will bring additional content like five new maps, weapons, operators, and more. Although Black Ops 6 has been well received by players—offering what feels like a full package with an engaging campaign and a truly fun multiplayer—the absence of Gun Game was definitely noticed.

When is Gunfight Mode arriving to Black Ops 6?

  • January 28

Gun Game was first introduced in Black Ops, gaining a lot of popularity due to the chaotic and fast-paced experience it offered. The mode consists of a free-for-all format where all players start with the same weapon. As a player eliminates enemies, they advance to the next weapon, and the one who manages to get a kill with the final weapon wins.

Treyarch hasn’t provided specific details on how Gun Game will work in Black Ops 6 or if players should expect changes to its original dynamic. However, longtime Black Ops players will be familiar with it. Even though it’s true that the mode has not been as popular as others like Team Deathmatch, Hardpoint, or Domination, Gun Game still offers an interesting option for party-style game modes—an area where Black Ops 6 could use some improvement.

As players continue to enjoy Black Ops 6 and Warzone’s well-made game modes, a highly anticipated addition is imminent. Those who have been waiting for Gun Game’s return should mark January 28 on their calendars.

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.
