A Blast to the Not-too-distant Past
Set shortly after the events of Treyarch's Black Ops Cold War, Black Ops 6 will put the players in the middle of a new storyline set in the early 1990s. Not a whole lot of details are known about where Black Ops 6's story will go, but the game's global launch trailer shows plenty of action-packed encounters, and large set pieces are in store for those looking to continue the Black Ops storyline.
As stated earlier, the campaign is one piece of the Call of Duty puzzle, with Black Ops 6 also featuring a robust multiplayer mode, as well as the next evolution of Call of Duty Zombies. Black Ops 6's Zombies mode is particularly interesting, with Treyarch confirming the iconic horde survival mode will return to its round-based roots. While Call of Duty releases generally go pretty well, Black Ops 6 will enjoy a nice boost thanks to Microsoft's Game Pass service. Black Ops 6 will be available on day one for Xbox Game Pass subscribers when it releases globally on October 25.
