Set in the '90s, this new experience delivers the most breathtaking and spectacular Black Ops action until now, where players have to question everything and trust no one. The truth lies. 

The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 campaign features dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay, featuring different mission styles with spectacular action-packed set pieces, high-stakes heists and high-secret espionage activities. In a premier multiplayer experience, players can test their skills on 16 new maps at launch, including 12 6v6 core maps and four Strike maps that can be played in 2v2 or 6v6. 

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode that sees players slay hordes of the undead in two brand new maps at launch. After launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and new gameplay experiences in both Multiplayer and Zombies.

With the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 just one day away, the Call of Duty team has shared accessibility updates and new features that will allow players to customize their experience.

From new innovations like Asymmetrical Hearing Compensation settings and Intelligent Movement, to High Contrast Mode and Arachnophobia settings, the team has made it easier for more players to jump into the game starting tomorrow.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Accessibility Updates and New Features

Making Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 more accessible makes it easier for more players to jump into the game, which is why innovating and introducing accessibility options across Call of Duty has always been a priority. The accessibility settings menu is accessed by nearly half of all players, and with the launch of Black Ops 6, we’re excited to share even more accessibility updates and new features which will allow players to further customize their experience. 

In Black Ops 6, we’re launching asymmetrical hearing compensation, an improved high contrast mode, updating the accessibility settings menu, and more. All the familiar accessibility features that were available in Modern Warfare® III will also be available in Black Ops 6, like graphical adjustment options to reduce motion blur and joystick setting options. Read on for more info on new accessibility updates and features coming to Black Ops 6.

Introducing Asymmetrical Hearing Compensation Settings

Black Ops 6 is proud to be the first Call of Duty game to launch asymmetrical hearing compensation settings, which allows players with asymmetrical hearing loss to create a custom audio profile and adjust audio settings for each ear. Created with veterans and players with hearing loss in mind, asymmetrical hearing compensation audio settings will now be individually customizable for each ear. In addition to the new asymmetrical hearing compensation settings, Black Ops 6 will continue to support the option for players to “Reduce Tinnitus Sound,” which replaces sounds made from Concussion and Flash Grenades with a duller sound. 

Customizable High Contrast Settings

High Contrast Mode was first introduced in Modern Warfare III in Campaign only, giving players the option to highlight allies and enemies during gameplay. In Black Ops 6, High Contrast Mode has been expanded and advanced and is now available in both Campaign and Zombies. Players will now be able to customize the color outline of allies and enemies, allowing players with vision impairment and color blindness to tailor their player experience even more. Players will also be able to enable a “Dark Background” setting in High Contrast Mode, which further adds contrast from the background elements to assist with low vision. 

Intelligent Movement

Newly introduced in Black Ops 6, Intelligent Movement allows players to customize four elements for how Operators move through the landscape. The suite of customizable movement includes Sprint Assist, Mantle Assist, Crouch Assist, and Corner Slice, which may help players with mobility issues reduce inputs by allowing options to minimize and customize button and stick processes. Read more about Movement in Black Ops 6 here.

HUD Presets

Another newly introduced feature in Black Ops 6 is the ability to adjust your gameplay HUD with a variety of Layout presets, as well as color adjustment options for your minimap. 

Layouts give players options to customize the HUD for optimal playing. For players who wish to reduce visual clutter or find that checking the minimap takes their eyes away from enemies, try the Target Tracker or Central Command presets. Play around and experiment with whichever preset works best for your play. 

Arachnophobia Settings

For the first time in Black Ops 6 Zombies, a new arachnophobia toggle feature will be available. This setting will allow players to change the appearance of spider-like enemies in Zombies without affecting their game play. 

Pause and Save in Zombies 

Also newly arriving to Black Ops 6 Zombies is the ability in Solo matches to pause, save, and load into games (while in full health). With the return of Round-Based Zombies, gameplay is guaranteed to be fast-paced and intense, so providing the ability to pause or save a Solo game and return at a later time can make all the difference in gameplay for some players. 

Accessories

Both the Xbox Adaptive Controller and Sony Access Controller will work out of the box with Black Ops 6. 

Jump into the game on October 25th and explore all the accessibility features and updates.
