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:
