Xbox Games Showcase to Spotlight Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 with Exclusive Gameplay Reveal

It has been officially announced that following the Xbox Games Showcase, there will be a special presentation focusing on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, offering an unprecedented, detailed exploration of brand-new gameplay features.

Microsoft disclosed its plan for the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, hinting at a post-event segment dedicated to a then-undisclosed game, reminiscent of the previous Starfield Direct. Confirmation has arrived that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be the highlight of this segment.

Xbox's official account shared excitement with fans today, stating, "Good game to those who predicted it," while encouraging followers not to miss the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase and the specific Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct on Sunday, June 9. The showcase is scheduled to start at 10 am PT, 1 pm ET, and 6 pm BST, with live streams available on the company’s YouTube channels and other platforms.

Furthermore, Call of Duty’s official social platforms hinted towards what fans can anticipate, revealing that the Black Ops 6 Direct will present the first detailed glimpse into never-before-seen gameplay and upcoming product releases.

Reflecting on the previous year's Starfield Direct, which lasted about 40 minutes and covered a wide range of aspects from the game, including combat, skill progression, ship crafting, companions, and interstellar navigation, it's expected that the Black Ops 6 presentation might offer a similarly comprehensive showcase, although the exact duration remains unspecified.

While details on the sixth installment of Blops remain scant, recent reports suggest that this year's Call of Duty entry will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one, following Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard for $69 billion. The company has assured that Call of Duty titles will continue to be accessible on PlayStation platforms for at least another ten years, quelling fears of platform exclusivity among fans.

For those interested in exploring all the new games set to debut in 2024, further information is available.
