Speculation has surrounded a Gulf War-themed setting for the game, with rumors pointing to a November release date. The post-Xbox Games Showcase event will likely confirm these details and potentially reveal more about the game’s theme.
Until the Xbox Showcase event, fans will continue to speculate on the subject matter and time period of the upcoming Call of Duty game.
The event will follow a similar format to Starfield Direct, with a deep dive into Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. This event will highlight collaborations between Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda, and Xbox Game Studios.
Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard has brought a wealth of gaming titles to their portfolio, and fans are excited to see what the future holds for these franchises.
