Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the latest game in the popular franchise, was announced by publisher Activision with a teaser video featuring the faces of presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln on Mount Rushmore covered with black blindfolds that collectively read “The Truth Lies.” This installment returns to the globe-trotting Black Ops series for the first time since 2020’s Black Ops: Cold War. The announcement was leaked in advance by a full-page USA Today newspaper ad that fans shared online before the official announcement. The teaser video, titled “wake up (rushmore) #thetruthlies,” showed a squad vandalizing Mount Rushmore at night with the blindfolds, hinting at a darker theme for the new game.
In the teaser video, a blindfold over Lincoln’s face featured a three-headed wolf emblem, which was previously seen in the franchise’s last game, Modern Warfare 3. IGN also noted that a fan post suggested the game may take place during the Gulf War conflict.
