Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a 2024 first-person shooter video game developed by Treyarch and Raven Software and published by Activision. It marks the twenty-first main entry in the Call of Duty franchise and the seventh title in the Black Ops series, succeeding Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War from 2020. The single-player campaign, set during Operation Desert Storm, features rogue CIA agents Troy Marshall and Frank Woods who gather a team to track down Pantheon, a paramilitary group linked to the agency. The game also incorporates multiplayer and a new version of the cooperative Zombies mode.

Black Ops 6 had a development timeline stretching four years—longer than any previous Call of Duty title. A significant portion of its creation focused on reconstructing core elements of Black Ops within the most recent Call of Duty engine. The game introduces an omnidirectional movement system enabling players to sprint, dive, and slide in any direction. Marketing began in May 2024 with live-action teaser trailers and newspaper advertisements; a full presentation occurred during the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase on June 9. It launched on October 25, 2024, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Upon release, Black Ops 6 garnered mostly positive reviews from critics, set a record for the largest opening weekend in franchise history, and earned multiple award nominations. All three game modes were praised, particularly the new movement mechanics. A follow-up titled Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was released in November 2025.

The game’s campaign includes elements like 6, 7, 6, 6, 6, 4, 5, 6, 7.
