After many rumors and different leaks, Activision Blizzard has finally confirmed the official name of the next game in its multibillion-dollar franchise. This new entry will be Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
The announcement of the game’s name today also revealed additional details about its upcoming launch this year. This new entry will feature a popular character from Cold War, Russell Adler. Thanks to the work of the popular site CharlieIntel, the official website of the game is live and has revealed that this character is back.
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Has Been Confirmed With the Return of a Familiar Face
Many rumors and leaks about the upcoming Call of Duty have been circulating all over social media and the internet in general since the start of the year. Some of them said that the title would be Black Ops Gulf War. However, Activision Blizzard has confirmed today the official name of the game; it will be called Black Ops 6 and is being developed by Treyarch and Raven Software.
CharlieIntel has revealed that the game’s website is already operational, along with some details about the characters who will play a role in the narrative.
Apparently, a main character from the Cold War game will be coming back: Russell Adler, one of the team members responsible for the previous title. This was part of a redacted letter on the website of the game that shows the beginning of the name of this character.
Russell Adler Will Be Part of the Plot of the Game
The previous game referred to this character as ‘America’s Monster’ due to his peculiar sense of humor. He was in charge of assigning you missions during the Cold War, which coincided with your pursuit of the Perseus agent from the Soviet Union. Adler was a very popular CIA agent who was involved in several important Black Ops missions that would ensure the country’s stability without anyone noticing. Of course, his intentions were questionable and his actions moreso as the events of the game went on, so it’ll be interesting to see if or where he lands this time round.
Once the Xbox Summer Showcase ends, Activision Blizzard will reveal the first world premiere trailer for Call of Duty Black Ops 6. This will happen on June 9. At the moment, and even after many rumors, there is no real information about where this game will be set. If Adler is involved, this could mean that the game will be set in the 1980s, like a kind of sequel to Cold War. The live-action teaser could also mean that it will be set in current times.
Treyarch has launched numerous games in the franchise without the same success as the first back in the 2010s. When Black Ops 3 was launched, the franchise had already bet on the futuristic setting, which also included vertical action, wall-running, and other things that were far from the very core of the franchise. As always, the games in this saga are set to be released at some point in November.
