Activision Blizzard, Raven Software, and Treyarch Games confirmed that its next action-shooter FPS installation would be Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, with the franchise moving away from its remakes of the Modern Warfare series.
The team unveiled its first trailer last June and later followed it up with information about its gameplay, pre-order bonuses, and early access. The game will make a showcase this Gamescom 2024, and it will be released later this October 25.
Despite Funcom's recent announcement of Dune: Awakening's early access delay to 2025, there is still a massive hype brewing behind the title, with many eagerly anticipating the title. This would be the first Dune game based on the novel series which would offer an open-world experience, allowing gamers to explore Arrakis and more soon.
