Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Officially Confirmed, Full Reveal Set for June 9

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been officially confirmed, with a full reveal scheduled for June 9.

Activision has confirmed that the next installment in the Call of Duty series will be Black Ops 6. Following several leaks and teasers, the publisher announced Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 last week. "A dark new chapter of the Black Ops franchise begins," the official Call of Duty handle on X posted on May 23, alongside a short video revealing the title. Additionally, Activision has confirmed that Black Ops 6 will be fully revealed in a Direct presentation immediately following the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9.

The Call of Duty maker had initiated its marketing campaign for the upcoming title last week by unveiling a teaser website for the game with "The Truth Lies" branding. The next installment in the Black Ops series follows Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, which was released in 2020.

Activision and Microsoft have also confirmed that the Direct presentation at Xbox Games Showcase scheduled for next month will be dedicated to Black Ops 6. Microsoft's initial announcement of the showcase included a redacted image teasing the next Call of Duty. Leaks, however, claimed at the time that the Direct showcase would feature the next entry in the COD franchise.

The full reveal of Black Ops 6 is scheduled to take place immediately after the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9 at 10 am PT (10:30 pm IST). While Activision has not provided further details, the Direct presentation is expected to premiere the game's first trailer and unveil the release date.

Although Activision has not disclosed any specifics about Black Ops 6 beyond cryptic teasers, CharlieIntel, an account that shares Call of Duty updates, has observed details in the teasers suggesting that the game may be set during the Gulf War. Additionally, the leaker shared an image on X, referencing reddit user u/Oufp4, which purportedly reveals GameStop pre-order listings for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. According to the listing, Black Ops 6 will also be available on PS4, indicating that the game will be released on previous-generation consoles.

Microsoft, which finalized its acquisition of Call of Duty maker Activision last year, is reportedly considering adding the next installment in the shooter franchise to its Game Pass subscription service.
