Black Ops is back, but is it based on the Gulf War, as rumours suggest?
Before we dive into all the release date rumours and more, you might want to keep up to date with what’s happening in the current CoD and MW3 Season 4.
With all that in mind, here’s everything we know so far about CoD Black Ops 6, including suggested plot details, what’s happening with Zombies mode and when we might find out more.
Is Call of Duty Black Ops 6 set during the Gulf War?

UPDATE: Activision has confirmed that the new Call of Duty game for 2024 is CoD Black Ops 6!
Original story follows:
A new report suggests that Call of Duty 2024, the first since Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision, will be set during the Gulf War, according to sources verified by Windows Central.
The mysterious teaser site TheTruthLies.com might contain some clues as it updates.
Plot details suggest that the new Call of Duty will be “focused on the CIA” during the Gulf War with the plot examining “the United States’ role in the conflict”. It will then follow on from 2020’s Black Ops Cold War, which was set in the 1980s, with the Gulf War taking place in the 1990s.
CoD fans looking for a more traditional experience will be pleased to learn that the rumours are pointing towards the new Black Ops leaning “back into more traditional military combat technology and familiar Black Ops gadgetry”.
So, anyone tired of the near-future and current tech of the Modern Warfare games might be able to look forward to a more classic Black Ops experience. The usual pre-order bonuses that give players early access to the game are expected too.
It’s expected that some of the West’s “military dealing” between the US and UK in its conflict with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, which led to soldiers being deployed into the country, will feature in some manner. Specifically, the end of the Cold War era will be explored.
It’s noted that Black Ops 6 has been “the longest development time Treyarch has ever put into a Call of Duty title it’s leading”, indicating that this could be a sizeable narrative.
If there’s one area that fans will be looking for an improvement in over Modern Warfare 3, it’s the single-player campaign. To many, the campaign in MW3 has been considered far too short, feeling more like an expansion pass than a full-blown sequel.
Another report (via Inside Gaming) believes that a large number of classic maps from the Black Ops series of games will be available to play in Black Ops 6. Some maps mentioned include Grind and WMD.
A round-based Zombie mode has also been brought up, due to game file leaks – though those details appear to be less finalised.
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 release date speculation

There is no official release date for CoD Black Ops 6.
A target date of late fall/early winter 2024 was shared by Windows Central in a report. This does seem likely, considering every mainline Call of Duty game has launched in either October or November since the series began in 2003.
The latest Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 3, arrived on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, as well as last-gen consoles such as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Whether this is the case again is yet to be determined following Microsoft’s purchase of Activision.
An exclusive report by The Wall Street Journal has suggested that Black Ops 6 will launch day one on Game Pass. Hey, Microsoft didn’t buy Activision to not put Call of Duty on Game Pass, did it?
The game should be fully revealed as part of the Xbox Games showcase on 9th June during Summer Game Fest 2024 and will even get its own direct showcase. The teaser trailer at the top of this page is just stage one of the juggernaut marketing campaign that will be behind Black Ops 6.
