Activision announced that it will officially reveal Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 at the Xbox Games Showcase, which begins at 1:00 PM Eastern/10 AM Pacific on June 9. Fans can then check out Black Ops 6 Direct immediately after the showcase.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 reveal comes June 9,
It’s unsurprising that Black Ops 6 will be at the Xbox Showcase. Activision and Microsoft tried to play coy with the showcase announcement and logo reveal at the end of April. However, fans picked up on the Call of Duty connection almost immediately. It was then confirmed by Wednesday’s The Truth Lies teasers, the first of which, showing vandals blindfolding the statues of Mount Rushmore, was later uploaded to the franchise’s official YouTube channel.
The Truth Lies teaser website updated
Speaking of the teasers, Activision has updated TheTruthLies.com teaser website, which features an interactive TV with 6 channels. The live-action Mount Rushmore video now plays on Channel 3. Channel 1 now displays a channel guide. Channel 6 is a news broadcast showing Mount Rushmore isn’t the only vandalized monument. Other targets include the US Supreme Court, Washington Monument, the Statue of George IV in London, the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, and the miniature Statue of Liberty in Paris.
In addition to Mount Rushmore’s “The truth lies,” other slogans read, “Justice isn’t blind, you are,” “Truth is the first casualty in war,” and “In lies we trust.” The French and German graffiti also translates to “Liberty, fraternity, duplicity” and “The truth lies.” Truth is obviously a big theme in Black Ops 6 and even appears in the Channel 6 News slogan, “On the right side of truth.”
There are also some interesting details on the Channel 1 guide. For example, the video of people hanging posters on Channel 2 is called Tear Down the Lies. Meanwhile, the Mount Rushmore video is called The Truth Cometh. The weather forecast includes “Excessive Deceit,” “Scattered Lies,” and “Chance of Deception.” It’s also probably not a coincidence that the off-air Channel 4 is called SHAM.
As with yesterday, these teasers still leave more questions than answers. However, we do know that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 takes place during the Gulf War. It also reportedly focuses on the shady activities of the CIA, explaining the focus on truth and lies. Fans will learn more at the reveal, but it might be worth keeping an eye on the teaser website until then.
