Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was recently showcased during Xbox’s June Summer Game Fest Showcase, giving players a glimpse of what to expect from the upcoming release. The game is set to introduce a new movement system called omnimovement, which allows players to move seamlessly in 360 degrees, giving them more freedom and flexibility in their actions. This new feature is a significant departure from previous Call of Duty games and is aimed at making players feel like action movie heroes.
In addition to omnimovement, the game will also include Intelligent Movement, a set of accessibility features that streamline certain actions like sprinting, mantling, and crouching. These features are designed to make the game more inclusive and allow players to focus on gameplay rather than complex controls.
The single-player campaign of Black Ops 6 will be set in the 90s during the Gulf War, focusing on themes of government distrust and conspiracy. The campaign will follow the story of Frank Woods, a returning character from previous Black Ops games, and a new cast of characters who go rogue after a mission gone wrong.
Contrary to speculation, Black Ops 6 will not feature a mission centered around the events of 9/11. The game aims to steer clear of controversial topics while still delivering an engaging and immersive experience for players.
The game will also reintroduce the prestige system, allowing players to progress through ten prestige ranks and unlock additional master prestige levels. This progression system will offer a lengthy path for players to climb and engage with the multiplayer aspect of the game.
Zombies mode in Black Ops 6 will return to its roots with round-based gameplay and two new maps, Liberty Falls and Terminus. The mode will focus on the Dark Aether storyline and provide a challenging and immersive experience for players.
Black Ops 6 will emphasize player choice and alternative gameplay decisions, introducing open-ended levels and role-playing aspects to the campaign. Players will have the opportunity to interact with characters and unlock different paths through missions based on their choices.
With the game set to launch on Xbox Game Pass on day one, players can look forward to a fresh start in the Call of Duty universe. The customizable HUD and innovative gameplay features make Black Ops 6 an exciting addition to the franchise, offering a new and unique experience for both new and returning players alike.
