Get ready to grab your controllers because the next chapter in the Call of Duty series is nearly here. Tomorrow (October 25), Black Ops 6 will be released in the UK, and eager fans are quickly pre-downloading the game in anticipation.

Created by Treyarch in collaboration with Raven, the game will be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC. Notably, it will also debut on Xbox Game Pass simultaneously with its launch on other platforms for the first time ever.

The espionage action thriller takes place in the early '90s. In the campaign mode, you'll have to confront a mysterious group that has secretly entered the US government and accused you of being a traitor. Beloved features like Prestige, zombie mode, and theater mode are returning. Additionally, the multiplayer aspect will introduce 16 new maps, featuring 12 primary 6v6 maps and four strike maps.

Taking place after the campaign, each map will feature its own distinct narrative. The latest addition to Call of Duty is the Kill Order mode, a 6v6 respawn format where players must take out high-value targets, each with their own significance.

In one of the most thrilling launches of the Call of Duty franchise, Black Ops 6 is set to roll out with innovative gameplay features such as Omnimovement, allowing players to sprint and slide in any direction. Releasing tomorrow, here’s how to purchase the various editions of the game across all platforms at the best prices.
