Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been officially confirmed by Activision following a special edition of USA Today that hinted at the game's title and some in-game events. The new installment appears to address contemporary issues through its storyline, featuring images of a Mount Rushmore with blindfolded heads, indicative of actions by extremists or pranksters. Reports also mention the failure of the 'American dream' and a cultural divide during U.S. elections, though the game is rumored to be set during the Gulf War. Additional details are expected during Microsoft's press event at Summer Games Fest 2024 on June 6, potentially highlighting the integration of Activision Blizzard after its acquisition by Microsoft.
