At Tech4gamers, I cover all sorts of gaming news. Whether it’s a leak of any upcoming game or an update, an announcement, or a rumour, I like to write about it all. Over the weekend, I sit and write features where I talk about games that I miss or want to see return.

As leaks suggested, Treyarch is working on the next Call of Duty game, and the studio is planning to return to the Black Ops franchise while using a Gulf War setting.

The game was officially announced yesterday, and Xbox confirmed more details would be available in early June. If the excitement for this entry wasn’t already high enough, a developer has teased that Black Ops 6 has been playtested for 2 years.

Why it matters: Since Call of Duty is always released on a tight schedule, very few entries receive as much attention. Therefore, Treyarch’s latest game could prove to be a special launch.

Soon after the official announcement was made, Nicole Havin, who is a game designer at Treyarch, retweeted the original post, stating that she has been playtesting the title for two years.

This appears to be great news for the fans of the franchise as it appears that the game won’t have many issues at launch if the developers have taken their time to polish the experience.

Modern Warfare 3 was notoriously rushed and relied on old content. However, with Treyarch working on this game for four years, the studio may be on track to releasing the most feature-rich entry in recent years.

Black Ops 6 may also provide the most polished Call of Duty experience to date.

Treyarch has help from Raven Software this time. The latter is handling the campaign, so Treyarch seems to have given all its attention to the multiplayer elements.

It has also been stated that future Call of Duty titles will be released on day one on Game Pass. Therefore, Black Ops 6 is proving to be an important release for multiple reasons, one that could shape the IP’s future for years to come.

We recommend tuning into the Xbox Showcase on June 9 for a comprehensive look at this title. Following the showcase, Xbox will air a separate Direct for Call of Duty and reveal more about the game.
