New Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Requires Players To Always Be Online

You will need an active internet connection for every game mode.

As promised, Activision and Treyarch have revealed more information about the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

We have collected the most interesting moments from the presentation below:

• The Black Ops 6 Campaign takes players to a new point in time — the early 1990s. The story, as expected, will be about a ‘global government conspiracy’ set against the backdrop of the Gulf War and the collapse of the USSR;
• Players will get to meet a number of familiar faces, including Frank Woods from Black Ops 2;

• The game will feature different types of missions — from stealth missions to dynamic firefights involving vehicles;
• 16 new maps will be available in multiplayer (at launch). Of these, 12 in 6v6 format only and 4 in 2v2 or 6v6 formats to choose from;
• The return of Round-Based Zombies mode, which will feature two brand new maps at launch;

• Black Ops 6 will feature a new omnimovement movement system. “For the first time ever, players can sprint, slide, and dive in any direction (forward, sidestepping, and backpedaling) and move like a true Black Ops action hero”. All movements are said to be smooth and realistic;
• The game will require a constant internet connection for all modes, including the single-player campaign. However, there is no need to subscribe to Game Pass Core or PlayStation Plus to play the campaign on consoles;

• Xbox Series and PS5 will feature split-screen mode (not available on Xbox One and PS4);
• The game will feature interface customisation;
• There will be no content transfer from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. One exception is the Woods Operator Pack for pre-ordering The Black Ops 6 Vault Edition.Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches on PC, PlayStation and Xbox on 25 October.
