Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War to be Featured at Xbox Showcase in June Xbox Showcase June 9: New Call of Duty and more •Insider Gaming / by Tom Henderson / Apr 5, 2024 at 8:05 PM Shared in Hot posts on r/XboxSeriesX by u/Turbostrider27 VIEW CONVERSATION

It’s been a wild 24 hours for Xbox Showcase rumors, and now Tom Warren at The Verge is reporting that this year’s Call of Duty title, Black Ops Gulf War, will also be featured at this year’s Xbox Showcase.

Insider Gaming can corroborate that this is the plan, but the game is currently set to be revealed prior to the showcase in a more ‘traditional fashion’ and outside of Warzone. Since 2020, previous Call of Duty titles have been revealed as a live event in the free-to-play Battle Royale, which attracts millions of players during the event.

It’s understood that Black Ops Gulf War will be revealed prior to Summer Games Fest in June. The showcase will feature some form of deep dive into the game, presumably a campaign mission walkthrough if they go traditional. We could then hear more about its multiplayer offering around August and zombies soon after.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War is to be released in October.

As previously reported, Insider Gaming understands that this year’s Call of Duty title will be an open-world campaign developed by Raven Software (multiplayer and zombies to be handled by Treyarch Games).

Speaking with sources, it’s been said that Xbox is gearing up for an announcement on its back catalog of games following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, too, so Gulf War might not be the only Call of Duty-related announcement that we’ll be hearing in June.

What do you think of Call of Duty going down a more traditional route with its announcements? Let us know down below!
