Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Release Date and More Leaked via Xbox’s Own Website

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 has suffered a significant leak just hours before the shooter was set to be detailed at Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase and subsequent Call of Duty Direct event.

The leak comes from Microsoft’s own Xbox Store, where at the time of this article’s publication a full description for the game was available. The Xbox Games Showcase kicks off at 10am PT today, June 9, with the Call of Duty Direct to follow immediately after.

The highlights here are the release date (October 25, 2024), campaign details, confirmation of 16 new multiplayer maps at launch, and two brand-new maps at launch for the return of Round-Based Zombies. There’s an open beta, too.

Elsewhere, the Black Ops 6 Steam store page has published the first screenshots of the game, giving us a look at the campaign, multiplayer, and zombies. Check the images out in the slideshow below:

Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty®: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterised by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favourite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
