Developed by the highly acclaimed Treyarch Studios and Raven Software, published by Activision, Black Ops 6 serves as the sequel to 2020’s Call of Duty Cold War release. Set in the early 1990s during the Gulf War, the game follows CIA veteran Frank Woods and his team, including Jane Harrow, Troy Marshall, Felix Neumann, Case, and Sevati Dumas.

Following a failed extraction mission of Iraq’s defense minister Saeed Alawi, attributed to Pantheon’s interference and Russell Adler’s erratic behavior, the game kicks off with Troy Marshall and his team recalling the events in a CIA interrogation room.

Utilizing the offshore mansion known as the Rook, players embark on an off-the-books investigation into Pantheon while also aiming to clear Adler’s name. The Rook offers various tasks to enhance the player’s arsenal through cash collection during missions for weapon upgrades and training exercises.

The campaign offers an intense cat-and-mouse experience as CIA agents delve into matters involving weapons of mass destruction, agency leaks, federal corruption, and covert assignments. From infiltrating a casino to a high-profile charity ball, players navigate stealth, sabotage, and explosive action in the fight against federal corruption.

With stunning visuals optimized for 4k at 60fps, Black Ops 6 delivers detailed character models, realistic animations, and immersive gameplay. The campaign offers approximately 11 hours of gameplay with top-notch production values and level design.
