The Call of Duty series has long become a household name. The most popular shooter in the world has millions of fans in different parts of the world and is released on an annual basis. Rumors about a new part of Call of Duty, as well as its setting, have been circulating for a long time. However, a full display of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 took place on June 9 as part of the Xbox Games Showcase 2024.
In this article we will talk about how Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was presented and the release date of CoD: BO6, the story campaign and gameplay innovations of the new Call of Duty, as well as well-known technical features and scandals associated with the upcoming part of the legendary series.
Presentation and release date of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
The Xbox Games Showcase 2024 started just with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. We were shown a story trailer filled with bright moments, old familiar characters, and new heroes of the action-packed shooter. Separately, after the completion of the main part of the presentation, Xbox demonstrated Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct, in which the game developers from Treyach and Raven Software spoke about the new project in detail.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is scheduled to be released on October 25th of this year. The game will be released on platforms such as PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. A distinctive feature of this part of the series will be that this time both beta testing and release will be the same for all platforms. That is, the era of early access for Sony console users has come to an end due to the acquisition of Activision Blizzard King by Microsoft. It is also worth noting that CoD: BO6 will be available on the day of release on the Xbox Game Pass subscription service.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Story Campaign
The plot of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will unfold in the first half of the 1990s and will be a continuation of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. The developers describe the genre story as a spy thriller. The creators say that during the course of the story, players will sometimes find it unclear who can be trusted and who cannot.
The plot of the new story is that unknown agents were able to infiltrate the CIA, and many eminent operatives were forced to go underground because they were branded traitors. Previously known characters return: Frank Woods and Russell Adler. Woods, due to his injury, will serve as the operation planner, and instead of him, the operations themselves will be carried out by the new heroes of the series. Traditionally for the Call of Duty series, there will also be a Zombie Mode with its own separate story campaign.
Gameplay innovations in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer
In this part, the developers from Treyach emphasized that they significantly changed the character movement system. Now you can not only run straight, but also to the side or even backward. This change should significantly increase the dynamics of the game and in particular the multiplayer.
Also in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 the damage system has been noticeably complicated. So before, the character’s body was conditionally divided into four zones, each of which received a certain amount of damage depending on the weapon. In Black Ops 6, Treyach increased the number of damage received zones to nine. In addition to taking damage, this also affected character death animations, making them more varied.

Technical features and scandals with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
The creators of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 boast that, thanks to the use of photogrammetry technology, they were able to achieve even greater realism in the quality of graphics, which is especially noticeable in the facial animations of the characters. In this regard, the first thing that upset fans was the need to constantly connect to the Internet even when playing the single-player campaign. The developers justify this decision by the fact that this way high-resolution textures will be loaded into the game faster and will not load the hardware of the gaming device so much.
The community has already criticized Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for the enormous amount of memory required to install the game. Players need to reserve 309.85 GB of free space on their drive, which is prohibitive, considering that many use a 512 GB SSD, and some even play on the Xbox Series S, where there is even less available memory.
Overall, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 looks ambitious and interesting. This is the first Call of Duty in years, with a four-year development cycle. Let us remember that previously the games in the series were created in two years. The appearance of the game on Xbox Game Pass makes it even more accessible to the masses of players, which means that we are potentially in for one of the biggest hits of this fall.
