For fans of the Call of Duty franchise, a new October tradition is about to begin. Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will launch on October 25th, 2024 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC. As the name implies, it’s the latest entry in the popular Black Ops sub-series, which has chronicled the clandestine operations of elite military forces across various historical eras.
This time around, Black Ops 6 transports players to the tumultuous early 1990s, a pivotal period marked by the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the outbreak of conflicts like the Gulf War. According to early details, the game will feature digitized representations of real-world figures from that era, including former U.S. President George H.W. Bush, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
As always, Black Ops 6 promises a thrilling experience with a single-player campaign, intense multiplayer battles, and the return of the fan-favorite Zombies mode. The game is now available for preorder across various retailers, so let’s break down the available editions to help you decide which one suits you best.
