Call of Duty: Next is coming soon, with exciting news and updates for Black Ops 6, Warzone and more. In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Call of Duty Next and how to watch the event itself. The article also goes over some of the bonuses fans can earn by watching.
How to watch the next episode of Call of Duty
The Call of Duty Next will be held on Wednesday, August 28th. Various streamers will also be hosting the event on their pages.
Call of Duty: Next Start Time
The event starts at 9am (Pacific Time) / 12pm (Eastern Time) that day. It’s unclear how long this year’s event will last, but the 2023 showcase lasted more than four hours. Here are the start times for Call of Duty: Next on August 28:
- 9 a.m. (Pacific time)
- 12 noon ET
- 5pm (BST)
- 1 a.m. Japan Standard Time (August 29)
- 2am AEST (August 29)
What happens next in “The Final Hour”
Call of Duty: Next will provide a more in-depth look at Black Ops 6’s multiplayer modes, including more information about the new Omnimovement system. The event will also provide more information about Black Ops 6’s new maps and modes, as well as the general gameplay and systems available to players.
Part of the reason for this event is to add excitement to the Black Ops 6 multiplayer beta that begins on August 30th.
In addition to multiplayer, Call of Duty: The Next Step will also take a closer look at Liberty Falls, one of Zombies’ two launch maps. In addition, the event will also provide more information about Area 99, the latest map in the battle royale game Call of Duty: Warzone.
Beyond that, Call of Duty Next will also be updated with “Black Ops 6 integration and more announcements,” whatever that means. Equally mysterious is the fact that Activision’s blog post contains an edited section related to “The Message”… something. Thankfully, it won’t be long before we find out what’s going on.
Some believe that one of Call of Duty’s next reveals will be the announcement of early access to Black Ops 6’s campaign, or even a Zombies mode. Previous Call of Duty games have allowed players to participate in the campaign a week early if they pre-ordered it, but so far no such promotion has been announced for Black Ops 6.
Recent rumors suggested that Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode might be available to pre-orderers early, but that may not be the case. GameSpot will provide more information as it is announced.
