It has been revealed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be the first installment in the franchise to launch on Microsoft Game Pass. An announcement was made via the Xbox Game Pass app for both iPhone and Android devices. However, despite the notification, neither Microsoft nor Activision have made an official announcement on any of the Call of Duty’s official platforms. The fact that this information was released through a notification linking to an unpublished blog suggests that it may have been an accidental leak.
Rumors surrounding the addition of Call of Duty to Game Pass have been circulating for some time now. A former senior PR executive from Microsoft even went as far as to describe this move as vital for the subscription service to maintain sustainability. The speculation was further fueled by the release of a teaser trailer for Black Ops 6, which featured period newsreel footage, cryptic close-ups, and distorted voices. The trailer hinted at a narrative revolving around historical figures such as Margaret Thatcher, Saddam Hussein, and OG George Bush.
Despite the traditional first-person shooter gameplay that the Call of Duty franchise is known for, rumors suggest that Black Ops 6 will take a different approach. The teaser trailer hinted at a unique setting – a pastel-colored, dystopian world with dialogue puzzles and an emphasis on narrative. The trailer even hinted at the involvement of a giga-wolf wearing a Capitol outfit, adding an element of fantasy to the game.
The unexpected nature of the teaser trailer has left fans and critics alike speculating on what to expect from Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The shift towards a more narrative-driven, puzzle-solving gameplay style has intrigued many, with some even joking about wild possibilities such as turning the game into a pen-and-paper journaling experience exclusive to Malta.
Microsoft has promised a big Black Ops 6 segment at their upcoming Summer Games Fest showcase on June 9th. Fans are eagerly anticipating further details that will hopefully shed some light on the direction of the game. Whether it’s remastered period music or new gameplay mechanics, one thing is for certain – Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to provide a unique and unexpected experience for players when it launches on Microsoft Game Pass.
