Well, it's official! The next CoD game is titled Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, with the game being teased this week through a cryptic website and various short video clips to hype up the announcement.
For now, we don't have an official release date for Black Ops 6, but you can bet your bottom dollar that it's coming out sometime this fall. In fact, we should know for sure in just over two weeks' time, when Microsoft fully unveils the game during its Xbox Direct showcase.
As for what we do know - the game's development setup looks interesting. Long-time Black Ops dev Treyarch will be the lead developer, but it's already been confirmed that the much-revered Raven Software will be partnering with them on the project. This sounds like a similar setup to Black Ops Cold War, where Raven handled the campaign portion of the game - but we don't know the exact arrangement on Black Ops 6 just yet.
The biggest question that now remains for us is whether the title will launch day one on Xbox Game Pass. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Call of Duty 2024 will be on the service day one, so here's hoping we find out for sure on that front in the coming weeks.

I'm way out of the COD loop because I missed that there was ever a BLOPS 5. Lol
Pretty sure everyone guessed it right
All they need to do is include 4 player split screen, zombies, and I'll get it.
@IronMan30 I guess Black Ops Cold War (2020) is now classed as 'Black Ops 5'
There’s a couple of things that are interesting to me. Like, Why did they not call Black Ops Cold War as Black Ops 5? Also why are they using the number 6 and no longer using Roman numerals like they had been doing for the Black Ops series? It’s no big deal, Just don’t understand the lack of consistency.
The only Black Ops game I have played was Cold War and it was a suprisingly enjoyable campaign. So will definitely have a look at this.
🥱🥱🥱 going to be zero innovation and maximum monetisation.
I’m excited for the campaign. Cold wars campaign was really good in my opinion.
@BRT15 i wouldn’t say that this year. It is rumored to be leaving behind PS4 and Xbox One and adding new movements and other new features to the gameplay. It’s been in development longer than any COD in a while as they got an extra year with it. So this is the year it changes things up for a while. Then it will be the same in 25, 26 and so on HAHA
Read before that's it's going back to pick 10 system 😎 hope it does n hopefully be decent as it's been downhill since ghosts 😭 bo3 n bo4 were decent but most new ones are straight 🐶💩😥
I think everyone guessed within minutes this was Call of Duty. There was only the question of whether it was '5' or '6' and most seemed sure it would be 6 - especially as more evidence pointed that way.
Within an hour, I doubt anyone had any doubt this would be the Call of Duty Direct..
@IronMan30 Black Ops 5 was Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War
Day One to Gamepass would be nice.
@Techno92LFC Probably because Cold War wasn't originally meant to be a Black Ops game. When Sledgehammer and Raven couldn't get along it was handed off to Treyarch to make the next CoD game they had like less then a year to develop it and. The Cold War name was originally what it was called but Treyarch tied it into the Blops universe. Thus Black Ops Cold War.
As for non Roman numbers I suspect there will be alot of changes now that David Vondehar is gone.
Cool. I want to see what they do with Zombies.
@DoomGuy_117 Same, for me personally the zombies mode hasn't being that good since black ops 3, it was a solid game, I feel like that product was developed with zombies mostly in mind but I'm hoping this new one maybe similar.
I guess it’s great news for COD fans, I am still hurt that they cancelled Hi-Fi rush 2 and focus on this kind of games. i know that nobody wins it its a flop, and it’s the workers on the studios that end up paying the price, but an evil part of me is wishing that the next COD will be a massive failure, making xbox executives loose millions.
@AlienigenX let's hope that also happens to Sonys next game as well, they shut London Studios And laid off staff at some of their most successful studios including Naughty Dog, Insomniac and Gorilla Games this year.
If the next COD was a failure it would make the Sony loose just as many millions.
@Sifi don’t even make me start on Sony…. (Thats the reason why I bought the Series X in the first place) They lost my respect eons ago. I think im too old for modern gaming. One thing is sure, I would not buy the PS6 or the xbox series XXX. Since I do not care about the route they are taking or the type of game they are producing. Honestly I spend more time on my 3DS than on these modern machines that I spent so much money on.
@AlienigenX if that happens that simply means more people will be fired. Activision employees shouldn’t pay just because other studios were shut down.
It will probably be announced for Nintendo, since Microsoft now has a 10 year deal with them 😂😂😂
I’d rather have 50 indie games
I haven't played a COD game for a few years now and that was Black Ops 3. I do hope they come to GamePass soon.
