Black Ops returns with an epic, gripping story and mind-bending blockbuster action in the most treacherous plot yet with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

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.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 set new records as Activision's biggest Call of Duty 3-day opening weekend ever!


"Last week’s launch of Black Ops 6 was the biggest Call of Duty release ever, setting a record for day one players, as well as Game Pass subscriber adds on launch day. Unit sales on PlayStation and Steam were also up over 60 percent year-over-year," said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

“Thank you to our players around the world for making Black Ops 6 the biggest Call of Duty launch ever. Our goal from the start has been to bring this great game to as many players as possible wherever they are, however they play. Black Ops 6 is an amazing game, and the response from the Call of Duty community has been incredible. This is only the beginning. Nuketown is only days away and Season 1 is right around the corner. We’re just getting started,” added Call of Duty GM and SVP Matt Cox.
