The first teaser for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was recently revealed, hinting that the upcoming entry in the franchise will deal with themes such as government corruption. Since Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard last year, Call of Duty fans have been eager to know what’s in store for this year’s CoD, and the teaser provides a first glimpse at that.

The next Call of Duty is reported to be a return to the Black Ops universe, which last appeared in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in 2020. The first Black Ops game was released by Treyarch in 2010, and this upcoming title will be the sixth entry in the storyline since then.

A newly uncovered deleted scene from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 suggests that the developers once planned a much darker ending for the game.

Now, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has received its first teaser trailer, setting the game's tone, which can be seen on a new website called TheTruthLies. The short teaser shows a small group on an espionage mission at night. At the end of the trailer, it’s possible to see the iconic Mount Rushmore after it was vandalized by the group’s actions, as they put the phrase “The Truth Lies” and blindfolds over the eyes of the Founding Fathers. While the trailer does not reveal much, it’s likely that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will deal with some form of government corruption as part of its main plot.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Teaser Trailer

At the moment, not much is known about the next Call of Duty. For instance, it’s rumored that the story will be set during the Gulf War. However, despite the previous game being named Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, it’s rumored that the next entry will not follow this tradition, and the game will be called Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

One of the biggest controversies surrounding the upcoming Call of Duty is whether it will be a part of Xbox Game Pass, considering that its publisher, Activision, was acquired by Microsoft last year. It was recently reported that Microsoft had been in an ongoing discussion on whether to add the game to the service or not, but the most recent reports indicate that Call of Duty will come to Xbox Game Pass on day one.

In any case, more information about the upcoming Call of Duty is expected to be revealed during the upcoming Xbox Game Showcase, which will happen on June 9. Until then, fans can only speculate about one of the game’s most eagerly awaited titles.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is a series of Call of Duty games developed by Treyarch. The series began in 2008 with Call of Duty: World at War, which acted as a prologue to the series, and there have been a further five games since.

Along with the change in development studios, the Black Ops series also differentiates itself from the other Call of Duty games by having a separate timeline, different weapons, and covert operation missions.
