Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 arrives on October 25th

Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will debut on October 25th, according to an Xbox store listing. The next installment in the popular franchise will be set in the early ’90s, and it will launch day one on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, Black Ops 6 will include a new campaign, a multiplayer mode with 16 new maps at launch, and a new zombies experience.

The main campaign is set in the early 1990s after the end of the Cold War “and the rise of the United States as a single superpower,” according to the store listing. The campaign includes a focus on spy missions, but little else is shared on the store listing. Activision plans to detail Black Ops 6 fully after the Xbox Games Showcase today.

The store listing all reveals some features of the multiplayer experience in Black Ops 6. It includes 16 new maps at launch, with 12 core 6vs6 maps and four strike maps that can be used in 2vs2 or 6vs6 modes. For Zombies fans, the round-based mode is returning with Black Ops 6 to deliver waves of the undead for players to fight their way through. There will also be two new Zombies maps at launch, according to the Xbox listing.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series S / X, PS4, PS5, and PC on October 25th. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will also get access on day one across PC and Xbox.
