[QUOTE="Admin, post: 65168, member: 1"] Authorities in Kuwait have blocked the release of [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/call-of-duty-black-ops-6']Call of Duty: Black Ops 6[/URL] just days before it was due to launch. Black Ops 6 was set to hit store shelves globally on October 25, including in Kuwait, but regulators have prohibited its release. A spokesperson for Activison told IGN that it remained “hopeful” that the authorities in Kuwait would reconsider. Here’s the statement in full: Activision failed to explain the reason for Black Ops 6’s Kuwait ban, but it probably had something to do with its setting. Black Ops 6 is set in the 90s amid the Gulf War, which kicked off when Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990. Indeed, [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/microsoft-confirms-call-of-duty-black-ops-6-day-one-with-xbox-game-pass']promotional material for Black Ops 6[/URL] features world leaders from the time period, including Bill Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, George H. W. Bush, Colin Powell, and Saddam Hussein. This week, Microsoft pulled its $1 for 14 days of Game Pass trial ahead of [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/call-of-duty-black-ops-6'][U]Call of Duty: Black Ops 6[/U][/URL]’s release date. Mirroring [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/microsoft-pulls-1-xbox-game-pass-trial-just-days-before-starfield-release-date'][U]a tactic it employed ahead of last year's launch of Bethesda’s Starfield[/U][/URL], Microsoft has now made the $1 introductory offer unavailable. It was previously available only to those who hadn’t subscribed to Game Pass before. Black Ops 6 is of course the first Call of Duty game to launch straight into Game Pass day one, following Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. We've also got confirmation of [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/call-of-duty-black-ops-6-launch-multiplayer-maps-modes-and-operators-confirmed']Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's launch Multiplayer maps, modes, and Operators[/URL], and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/activision-confirms-call-of-duty-black-ops-6-preload-and-global-launch-times-pc-system-requirements-and-102-gb-storage-requirement'][U]Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's preload and global launch times[/U][/URL].
