Black Ops 6 teasers
In true Black Ops fashion, teasers for the upcoming game have surfaced over the past week, starting with the short clip you can see above. It shows a group destroying Mount Rushmore, with the phrase “The Truth Lies.” This was later followed by another teaser, in which the same group put up a poster with the same slogan.
Both teaser clips were released for BlackOps6 were then accompanied by the ‘open your eyes’ video. This gives us a hint to BlackOps6‘s setting, which appears to be the 1990s. We see former presidents George HW Bush and Bill Clinton, discussing the years 1989-1993 and 1993-2001 respectively.
All these teasers can be seen on the interactive website website of truth, which lets you browse six TV channels. Each channel contains a different teaser, with one empty channel. You can even hit the record button to download each video so you can browse through it yourself.
When does Black Ops 6 take place?
Activision has yet to fully lift the lid on the setting BlackOps6, but thanks to the teasers we discussed above, we’re betting it’s the ’90s. This follows with previously unverified rumors about 2024 Duty to be called ‘Call of Duty Black Ops Gulf War. While these rumors were squashed as soon as we heard about it BlackOps6‘s official title, they may still be right when it comes to the period the game’s campaign will cover.
The ‘open your eyes’ teaser video features a number of political figures, including former Presidents George HW Bush and Bill Clinton, discussing the years 1989-1993 and 1993-2001 respectively. We also see former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who remained in office until the end of 1990. BlackOps6 could include the fallout from Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990, and the response of the US-led coalition. How close the game stays to history remains to be seen Black operations It has been known to alter timelines in the past.
Black Ops 6 trailer
So far we have only received one trailer BlackOps6. It is a live-action trailer, with actors portraying various prominent historical figures. During the runtime we see former US Presidents Bill Clinton, George HW Bush, former US Secretary of State Colin Powell, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and former President of Iraq Saddam Hussein. This again points to a 1990s setting, which featured the Gulf War and its resulting consequences.
