This is the first time these characters have appeared since Cold War in 2020, and we hope this campaign will be one to remember.
So, when is the release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6?
We’ll be sharing all the latest BO6 news below, from release dates (and times) to trailers.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 release date confirmed

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be released on October 25, 2024. The news was confirmed at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9, 2024.
Based on the release dates of previous titles in the series, many speculated that the game would arrive at the end of the year. However, it is slightly earlier than last year’s Modern Warfare 3, which launched in November.
Modern Warfare 3 became the second best-selling title of the year, behind Hogwarts Legacy, which was released a few months ago in February. So, if it’s anything to go by, we predict that the long-awaited Black Ops 6 will be released. It performs equally well.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 UK release time
But when exactly can we start taking action here in the UK?
It will drop in the UK (and Ireland) on October 25, 2024 at 5am BST.
That way, you’ll have time to play some games before work.
Be sure to preload your games in advance to save time in the morning. It will be ready to run at 9am on October 21, 2024.
Can I pre-order Black Ops 6?
Yes, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is currently available for pre-order.
BO6 is available for pre-order from our digital storefront for console or PC platforms. Alternatively, retailers like GAME and Amazon also have pre-order pages.
You can check out all the different editions on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 pre-order page.
However, if you’re in a hurry, consider the two different versions of the game. Firstly, there’s the Standard Edition that comes with the game, early access to the open beta, and the Woods Operator Pack, priced at £69.99.
For more hardcore CoD fans, there’s also the Vault Edition, which includes all of the above plus the Hunters vs Hunted Operator Pack, Mastercraft Collection, BlackCell (1 season), and GobbleGum Pack. As you can imagine, this comes at a hefty price tag of £99.99.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is scheduled to launch on both current and previous generation consoles.
This means it will be available on both PS5 and PS4, as well as Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. It will also be available on PC via Steam.
It has also been confirmed that players with Xbox Game Pass will have access to the entire game on release day, a first for the series. This isn’t entirely unexpected, considering Microsoft’s recent high-profile purchase of CoD developer Activision.
What are the gameplay and story details for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6?

Following the recent CoD Next event, a lot of information has been released regarding the Black Ops 6 campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies mode.
First, let’s take a closer look at the campaign.
After sustaining a life-altering injury, series veteran Frank Woods returns in a new role for the CIA, teaming up with Troy Marshall, a driven and tenacious soldier in the field.
The story revolves around the pair and a series of new and familiar characters, including Russell Adler, who previously appeared in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
There will also be gadget and weapon upgrades, as well as a new safe house called the Manor on top of a granite cliff. As you’d expect in a CoD game, there are a variety of other locations to visit, from casinos in Europe to the deserts of Iraq.
For multiplayer, Treyarch has created an entirely new movement system known as Omnimovement.
Players will be able to sprint, slide, and dive in all directions, creating plenty of opportunities to create moments worthy of any gameplay montage.
Zombies is also back in a big way, with two round-based maps included at the game’s launch.
Terminus continues the story of Dark Aether, while Liberty Falls is a smaller map that’s bound to produce some hectic action as you fend off endless hordes of undead enemies.
Of course, not all modes will be released at launch, and many fan favorites will be added later.
Will Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 be integrated into Warzone?
Yes, the entire Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 arsenal will be integrated into Call of Duty: Warzone.
A Call of Duty blog post reveals that “Black Ops 6 content will be integrated with the arrival of Season 1,” which is expected to launch in late November or early December.
Is there a trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6?
Yes, there’s a trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. We’ve included the latest multiplayer reveal trailer below.
The multiplayer trailer begins with players preparing for battle, and The Prodigy’s Breathe begins as the battle intensifies.
As expected, this is a cinematic trailer, showcasing the fast-paced action that fans have come to expect from the Black Ops series.
For those with time on their hands, we’ve included a nearly four-hour broadcast of the CoD Next event below that details the future of multiplayer, Zombies, Warzone’s next chapter, and the mobile port. .
