After four long years of development and a month full of teasers, Activision has finally announced (or “unredacted”) Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The full details of the latest title under the famed franchise will be revealed on June 9 (June 10 in Asia). It will be done through a reveal called “Black Ops 6 Direct“, right after the Xbox Games Showcase event finishes.

Activision began marketing Black Ops 6 earlier this month. There were fictional advertisements on major newspapers. Particularly, there was an ad showing that Mt. Rushmore has been “defaced.” Later on, outlets like USA Today and The New York Post showed “The Truth Lies” ads on their front pages.

There have also been several teaser trailers on the internet that featured real-life figures like former U.S. president Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush. Furthermore, there was also one trailer on the Call of Duty YouTube channel. The video is narrated by a distorted voice, urging the viewer to “stop being the sheep and become wolves.”

About a few weeks ago, several Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players also pointed out having discovered an easter egg in the form of Sally pistols. It’s the same 9mm Daemon Pistol that can be found on the 2010 Black Ops cover art. That pretty much confirmed Black Ops 6.

Further details will most definitely be discussed at the Direct event, including gameplay footage and its release date. Call of Duty: Several reports expect that the title will be released for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows. Black Ops 6 is the latest installment in the military first-person shooter franchise. It follows Black Ops Cold War as the seventh entry under the Black Ops series.

Assassin’s Creed remakes are coming, Ubisoft confirms

In addition to Shadows and Hexe

Ubisoft owes a lot of its success today to the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Now far removed from the early entries that earned the franchise its success, the series is getting a healthy dose of nostalgia going forward. Ubisoft has officially announced that more remakes of the popular franchise are coming in the future.

In an interview with CEO Yves Guillemot on the company’s website, Ubisoft announced that it is tapping into the past of the franchise for its future. “Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we’ve created in the past and modernize them,” Guillemot said.

The company has not said which games are getting remakes, though. Over the years, the franchise has dabbled with remasters; most notably, Ubisoft launched an Ezio collection that bundles all the games featuring the Italian assassin.

Remakes sound like a big project for Ubisoft. Instead of simply offering graphics upgrades, there is a big chance that a remake will expand the worlds of the past. “There are worlds in some of our older Assassin’s Creed games that are still extremely rich,” he continues.

Besides remakes, the franchise is preparing for new eras and playstyles it hasn’t seen yet. For example, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will take the series to feudal Japan for the first time ever. Assassin’s Creed Hexe, a currently unscheduled release, will take the series to the witch trials during the Holy Roman Empire.
