Today we learned that <em>Black Ops 6 <\/em>will have a full campaign set in the 1990s that picks up (broadly) where the \u201880s-infused <em>Cold War<\/em> left off. Raven Software is actually handling the campaign, and is promising \u201cglobetrotting missions along with stealth gameplay mixed with blockbuster action. \u201d Sure sounds a lot like Black Ops!<\/p>\n<p>Locations for the storyline include the Middle East, southern Europe, Russia and the US. For those deeply entwined in Blops&#8217; gripping storyline, Frank Woods and Russel Adler will return for <em>6<\/em>, and the story will be tied to the 1980s flashbacks in <em>Black Ops 2<\/em>. The campaign will branch out from an \u201cexpanded campaign hub\u201d set in a safehouse where you\u2019ll be able to \u201clearn about allies, explore and solve puzzles, gather lore and upgrades\u201d and, of course, select missions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"caas-iframe-wrapper\" data-embed-anchor=\"4eae9016-28e3-5567-9d7d-aac3cb08ab91\">\n<div class=\"caas-iframe youtube\" style=\"padding-bottom:56%\" data-type=\"youtube\">\n<blockquote data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZZ6gafqCjsY?rel=0\" scrolling=\"no\"><p><noscript><iframe title=\"[4K] Xbox Games Showcase Followed by Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZZ6gafqCjsY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Multiplayer is the main event for most Call of Duty players, and is also the area where Treyarch typically excels.
