According to a new report by The Verge, Activision is currently targeting a late October release for Call of Duty’s anticipated installment Black Ops 6.

October 18 would be considered mid-October. Given The Verge’s claims pointing to “late October”, this suggests that Black Ops 6 will likely drop on October 25, 2024. Insider Gaming supported this date per a new tweet from yesterday:

Day 1, baby!

On game pass

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Meh, never cared much for Blops.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Fingers crossed for another good story and campaign entry. Hopefully it's up there with WaW, BO1 and Cold War, and not down there with II, III and whatever the heck IV (sorry, IIII) was.

 

[Black_Stride]

If its gonna be on Gamepass Ill give it a go.
Cold War "flopped" by CoD standards.....are people still excited for the Black Ops series?
Well after Modern Warfare 3 I imagine people would rather anything else.

 

[Piggoro]

After MW2 burned me with clownish cosmetics in the first month after the release, I'm not buying another CoD until they introduce "hide cosmetics" toggle in the settings. So most likely never.

 

[Putonahappyface]

If the campaign is any good I'll pick it up on Ebay.

Huh? Cold War was amazing. Are you sure you aren’t mistaking it for Vanguard?

I am.
It was Vanguard that I remembered as being a flop.

 

[amigastar]

Not big into CoD but when it releases on Game Pass i would surely give it a go.

 

[clarky]

Going to be hard to top MWIII but i'll be in regardless.

 

[SlimySnake]

Is it next gen only this time or another cross gen trash title?

 

[adamsapple]

Going to be hard to top MWIII but i'll be in regardless.

MW3 from last year? I think it's gonna be hard *not* to top, especially for the campaign lol. Last year's game was a glorified DLC packaged to a full price and people lapped that shit up. It's still the top 1, 2 selling game in monthly charts.

I play it every day, its great. Sure the campaign was shite but i don't play COD for that.

Its far superior to MWII.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

It's using a modified 1998 engine with 20 tickrate.
What do you think?

 

[ThaMonkeyClaw]

I am.

Vanguard was a pile of shit, plain and simple.

 

[gothmog]

The only thing I like is when they call it CODBLOPS.

 

[SHA]

I'll sub for campaigns, not a serious multiplayer guy, that's not who I am.

 

[BigLee74]

Please be as good as Cold War, please.

I hated Vangurad when it came out, but in retrospect it was so much better than MWII and III!

 

[rhodesianshepard]

Any word whether this is current gen only?

It sounds like ms's strongest card, I don't see why not.

 

[Represent.]

New engine or bust

 

[TheKratos]

Give me Blackout 2

 

[MiguelItUp]

I loved Blops 1&2, but they definitely lost me on the games after. I really don't know what to make of COD anymore. It's just not worth the money for the amount of game I get out of it. They're all too similar.

 

[dano1]

On game pass

This is why Xbox is slowly dying

 

[Nydius]

Has the supposed Gulf War setting been confirmed at all?

All I know is when it was rumored that it was going to be set in/during Desert Storm, all I could imagine was my dad going batshit insane collecting those Topps Desert Storm trading cards...

 

[SmokedMeat]

Black Ops Six?! Fuck I feel old.

I’m playing halo and forza on pc, might be able to play campaign and multiplayer for my usual couple weeks before getting bored without dropping $70, things seem great to me!

 

[j0hnnix]

Day Game 1 Pass

There's nothing better than half of the players are Cheech and/or Chong.

 

[Salz01]

I loved Cold War. Hope this has a decent SP, because the MP will be great.

Great for the players. But not selling many games that way.

 

[nemiroff]

In-game spending for these games are probably much higher than the price of the game. Also, because of in-game purchases people are probably less likely to cancel the GP sub. Idk..

is not that simple... but we shall see soon enough after this move

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Hope it's a direct sequel to COD:BLOPS III.

Loved the future setting, Ben Browder and the batshit insane story.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Cod is looking much much better they’re trying to get back to the basics.

 

[adamsapple]

Hope it's a direct sequel to COD:BLOPS III.

All insider stuff point to it being set in the Gulf War.

 

[KormaChameleon]

I've always preferred the Black Ops games. 2 was my jam!

 

[Calverz]

Can I just ask, when did we get black ops 5?

 

[adamsapple]

Can I just ask, when did we get black ops 5?

Black Ops: Cold War.

I doubt they put a number on this one, it's probably gonna be Black Ops: Gulf War or something.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Is this the one with Drake as multiplayer skin and Nicki Minaj as the main character?

 

[cash_longfellow]

The only thing I like is when they call it CODBLOPS.

This sounds like some weird term for getting diarrhea after eating fish.

“Went to Red Lobster the other day, but I won’t be going back because I got the CODBLOPS after I ate.”

 

[nemiroff]

After 1200 hours in this last COD.. Considering taking a long BREAK. Only either of two things will be able to pull me back in :

- A relaxation in the SBMM system.
- The greatest Zombie mode ever
