Call of Duty Black Ops 6 release date, editions and cross-gen launch confirmed
The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 release date has seemingly been confirmed as October 17, 2024.
The release date was revealed when Xbox and PlayStation Store listings for the game were updated ahead of a Black Ops 6 Direct presentation on Sunday.
They also confirm previous reports that the game will be released for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC, with cross-gen bundles among the available editions.
There will also be a pricier Vault Edition which includes open beta early access, an Operator pack and BlackCell (1 Season), among other features.
As a first-party Microsoft title, Black Ops 6 will also be available on Game Pass for Xbox consoles and PC at launch.
“Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterised by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower,” reads an official description of the game. “With a mind-bending narrative and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
“The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
“In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
“Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favourite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.”
