Some of these details were then corroborated by <a href=\"https:\/\/insider-gaming.com\/black-ops-2-call-of-duty-2025\/\">Insider Gaming<\/a>. Activision declined to comment when contacted by IGN.<\/p>\n<p>While 2024\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/call-of-duty-black-ops-6\">Black Ops 6<\/a> is set in the 90s to the backdrop of the Gulf War, 2025\u2019s Black Ops game reportedly shoots forward to the 2030s, picking up where 2012\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/call-of-duty-black-ops-ii\">Black Ops 2<\/a>, set in 2025, left off.<\/p>\n<p>It reportedly continues the Black Ops storyline from that point, with David Mason from Black Ops 2 as the protagonist. Mechanics from Black Ops 6 said to return include the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/call-of-duty-black-ops-6-has-a-new-feature-fans-are-saying-will-get-people-banned-or-make-them-go-viral-or-both\">body shield<\/a> and Omnimovement, with some tweaks such as human shields with grenades stuck to them that can be thrown at enemies, and wall jumping. Zombies mode, meanwhile, is said to introduce an eight-player mode.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps unsurprisingly, Infinity Ward is reportedly hard at work on the next Modern Warfare game, presumably Modern Warfare 4. Perhaps that\u2019s due out in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Developer Treyarch has had four years to work on Black Ops 6, the longest development period of a mainline Call of Duty game yet. Expectations are high then after 2023\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-iii-2023\">Modern Warfare 3<\/a>, which is perhaps the most poorly received campaign in Call of Duty history. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/call-of-duty-black-ops-6-campaign-dev-raven-didnt-react-to-modern-warfare-3-campaigns-terrible-reception-we-were-already-pretty-locked-in\">Black Ops 6 campaign developer Raven told IGN it didn\u2019t react to the Modern Warfare 3 campaign\u2019s terrible reception<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Modern Warfare 3, originally conceived as an expansion pack for 2022\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-ii-2022\">Modern Warfare 2<\/a>, reportedly imposed crunch on its developers as they battled to create a fully-fledged sequel in just 16 months. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/new-report-reveals-that-modern-warfare-3-development-time-was-half-that-of-a-normal-call-of-duty\">Sledgehammer studio head Aaron Halon has insisted Modern Warfare 3 was \u201cyears in the making.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Assuming the reports of next year\u2019s Call of Duty being another Black Ops game hot on the heels of this year\u2019s Black Ops 6 are true, Activision will once again face tough questions around its value as a fully-fledged sequel.<\/p>\n<p>In the shorter term, Black Ops 6 launches on October 25 and straight into Game Pass. It\u2019s the first Call of Duty game to do so since Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard for $69 billion. For more, we&#8217;ve got confirmation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/call-of-duty-black-ops-6-launch-multiplayer-maps-modes-and-operators-confirmed\">Call of Duty: Black Ops 6&#8217;s launch Multiplayer maps, modes, and Operators<\/a>, and <a href=\"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\">Call of Duty: Black Ops 6&#8217;s preload and global launch times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN.
