One of the biggest reasons Xbox acquired Activision Blizzard was the Call of Duty series, a first-person shooter that has dominated the best-selling games list for decades. It would make a perfect candidate to launch on Microsoft’s gaming subscription service, Xbox Game Pass, to bring in new subscribers. Black Ops 6 was officially revealed last week, and that’s when it was reported that it was being considered for a Game Pass launch. Today, the news was confirmed by Xbox itself. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will launch on Day 1 of Game Pass..
We don’t know much about the game yet, but two live-action teasers have been released so far. The first shows a group of people covering the faces of Mount Rushmore with blindfolds that say, “Truth is lies.” The second, released today, can be seen below.
It features black-and-white camera footage of world leaders speaking in hushed tones about manufactured wars, a grand conspiracy and the elusive nature of truth. The trailer ends with the game’s full title, along with a reminder that the full reveal will take place on June 9 after Xbox’s Summer Showcase.
