The Xbox Games Showcase has just wrapped up and it was one of the best events we’ve seen in some time by any developer or publisher. During the event, we got to see games such as Perfect Dark, Metal Gear Solid 3, DOOM, Fable, and many more upcoming titles. What many gamers were looking forward to was the reveal of Black Ops 6, giving us a first look at the gameplay that we can expect when it launches later this year.
Black Ops 6 will feature three core playstyles. The first is the Enforcer, the slayers that like to kill and stay on the move, think of these as more run and gun style soldiers. Recon is all about intel and counter-intel. Finally, Strategists support players that throw their bodies at objectives for the win, and are focused on disrupting enemy killstreaks.
Taking a closer look at the Recon class, these could be very troublesome for enemy teams as the footage shown indicates that they have a wall hack ability, similar to what is seen in titles such as XDefiant and The Finals.
It will be interesting to see how Activision balances this to ensure it isn’t too overpowered, but it could become one of the most used classes in Black Ops 6 as it will be an essential part of any team.
Black Ops 6 will also feature a campaign developed by Raven Software, an all-new round-based Zombies mode, theater mode, and much more. Players won’t have long to wait to check out the game in action as the Call of Duty Next event will reveal the multiplayer on August 28th ahead of the beta that will follow shortly after, which will release on all platforms at the same time ending the long-standing PlayStation early access deal.
