Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Launches with Arachnophobia Mode and Game Pass Integration
Call of Duty's upcoming Black Ops 6, launching October 25th, introduces a new arachnophobia mode for its Zombies game mode. This feature alters the appearance of spider-like enemies, removing their legs to create a less unsettling visual experience without impacting gameplay. While the developers haven't detailed the effect on hitboxes, it's likely adjusted proportionally.
The update also includes a "Pause and Save" feature for solo players in Round-Based Zombies, allowing them to save progress while maintaining full health. This is a significant addition, especially considering the challenging nature of Round-Based maps.
Black Ops 6's Day One launch on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass is expected to significantly impact Microsoft's subscription service. Analysts offer varying predictions, with some forecasting a substantial increase of 3-4 million subscribers, while others estimate a more conservative 10% rise (approximately 2.5 million), potentially including existing subscribers upgrading their plans.
The success of this strategy is crucial for Microsoft's gaming division, facing pressure to demonstrate the viability of its Game Pass model. The inclusion of Black Ops 6, a major title, is a significant test of this business model.
