Gamescom 2024's Opening Night Live presentation has kicked off with an extended look at Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
The campaign mission, known as Most Wanted, sees operators infiltrating a building to rescue a hostage. Soon after, a Juggernaut-style enemy breaches in, clad head to toe in heavy armor and wielding a massive minigun. Just like the '90s, eh?
The gameplay trailer also shows off plenty more besides gun play. The player character unleashes a remote-controlled drone which explodes, killing the threatening target instantly. From there, we get more infiltration and dialogue beats as the group ascends an elevator shaft. But of course, even that quickly goes awry as the mission transitions to the streets above.
The explosive mission culminates in a pretty stunning car chase. As you'd expect, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's campaign seems to be as bombastic as they always are from developers Treyarch and Raven Software. Much like previous games in the Black Ops subseries, the pacing overall seems to be really on point, and I'm looking forward to what's likely to be an unpredictable shooter. At least when it comes to locations visited and set piece variety.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is launching on October 25, 2024 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC. Call of Duty games are notoriously large in file size, but Activision has previously debunked the notion that the game will total over 300GB in size. That said, the publisher has yet to confirm just how much space players should expect to reserve when the game launches this October.
