call of duty

The director of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 believes returning players might have contributed to what's been called the series' biggest-ever launch.

Miles says it gives Call of Duty's developers "another avenue to really get the game in the hands of players".

The latest release also leans into nostalgia with tweaks to Zombies - one of Call of Duty's best-loved modes - and an update of fan-favourite multiplayer map Nuketown.

"We've gotten to the point now where Black Ops and Call of Duty have been around so long - I've been working on it for 16 years," says Miles.

"And really the challenge for us is how do you bring along the fans that love Call of Duty, but how do you create an environment where you can welcome new fans in?"
