Treyarch has commandeered the COD development helm again, and has been working on Black Ops 6 for four years. In this time, we’ve seen Vanguard, Modern Warfare 2, and Modern Warfare 3 all come and go, but now it’s time for the deepest, darkest recesses of American history to be opened and even retold once more.

BLOPS 6 already promises to be a rollercoaster ride with a litany of new features, and if you’re excited—like me—we have its release date and launch time details below.

Oct. 25, 2024 is the release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and until Treyarch says otherwise, expect this to be a midnight launch for BLOPS 6 in each region.

You know you’re an OG gamer when you have an in-store Call of Duty midnight launch under your belt. I did the same thing with the first Black Ops way back in 2010, and while it’s not the same, I fully intend to be raring and ready to go with an energy drink by my side on Oct. 25.

To see what this date looks like in real time, here’s a second-by-second countdown until the Black Ops 6 launch.
