FIRST LOOK at CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS 6 Campaign at GAMESCOM

Activision are in full gear with their ad campaign for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, looking to get gamers hyped prior to the release of its early access beta. Whilst at this year's Gamescom developers, Raven Software, would go one step further to generate interest, showcasing the “Most Wanted” level from the games campaign. 

Given the negative reaction that the Modern Warfare 3 campaign got last year, there was a lot of pressure on delivering a solid one this time around. If this example is anything to go off, it looks as if Raven Software will certainly deliver on this goal. Showcasing the fluid first-person gameplay that we've come to know from the series, the video definitely gives the impression that this will be a fun addition to the franchise. The slick cinematics and addition of a weapons wheel for supplements also proves enticing, being sure to leave gamers intrigued to jump into the beta at the end of the month.

Being a follow-up to Black Ops Cold War, this latest instalment will take place in the early ’90s, seeing the return of franchise favourites including Frank Woods and Russell Adler. The campaign will show the period of transition following the Cold War, with the rise of America as a single superpower.

In addition to Black Ops 6 gameplay, Activision would also announce a new operator skin for Modern Warfare 3 and War Zone, partnering up with The Crow. Arriving today, the skin comes just in time for the upcoming movie's release, allowing players to fight online as Eric Draven.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to arrive on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC on October 25th, coming to Game Pass day one.
