Activision has shown off the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 campaign during Opening Night Live, kicking off gamescom 2024 in the process.
After the criticism the campaign for Modern Warfare 3 received last year, the pressure was on Black Ops 6 campaign developer Raven Software to deliver with this follow-up to Black Ops Cold War. This time, the action is set in the early 1990s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower.

The trailer revealed Black Ops 6's new omnimovement feature, with the player throwing a knife from behind cover in a back prone position. The mission on show is called Most Wanted, in which the rogue team needs to rescue one of their own from a top-secret black site underneath Washington, D.C.
Here's the official blurb, from Activision:
Black Ops 6, the first mainline Call of Duty to release following Microsoft's $69 billion aquisition of Activision Blizzard, launches day one into subscription service Game Pass as well as in the normal, premium fashion, on October 25, 2024.
