Today, the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Global Launch Gameplay Trailer was released, with the countdown officially started. The game is set to release this month, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 arriving globally on October 25, 2024. For most games, a launch trailer does not typically come out this early and is usually released a few days before the game’s full release, if anything. However, the global launch trailer has been released with 18 days until release. For the first time in many years, this is the first time Activision has decided not to go for an Early Access period before the global launch of the game. Typically, Activision would use the Early Access period to allow excited fans into the campaign early, but this time, it has decided not to do that. It’s possible that it was done because of how poorly received the Modern Warfare 3 campaign was last year, even though plenty of fans tend to flock straight away to Multiplayer and Zombies.
In a statement made by Activision, they explained the choice to go in a different direction for this release. “The team is fully focused on October 25. We are excited about all the game has to offer across Campaign, Multiplayer and Zombies. This year, we made the decision to ensure the community gets to dig in to any and all modes that they want at the same time, so we are back to one massive global launch moment October 25th. As such, there is no Early Access beat this year for Black Ops 6, just the countdown to launch.”
So far, with the launch trailer out, Call of Duty fans seem to be quite excited about Black Ops 6, with plenty of buzz floating around. The trailer is gritty and immersive, and players will get to explore a dark, ambiguous story, whereas the Multiplayer is a starkly different experience. In previous games, players would get to dress up as cats, pigeons and other fun characters while playing multiplayer, with this element being predominantly in Call of Duty: Warzone.
However, this trailer is focused solely on the Campaign, where players will get to experience a high-intensity campaign with a similar vibe to that of Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Cold War. The trailer features a great soundtrack, providing great energy for the trailer and getting players excited for the global release of the title.
For those that want to get stuck into the game but don’t want to pay the big price tag of the game, this is the first mainline Call of Duty game that will be launching straight onto Xbox and PC Game Pass, making it more accessible for those already using the subscription service.
