The Campaign For Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is 14 Years in the Making

Black Ops games are known for their deep connections to real-life espionage and secret missions, sometimes even involving powerful global governments. The storylines often mirror historical events, like the portrayal of a failed assassination attempt on Cuban President Fidel Castro in 1960s, shown at the start of the 2010’s Black Ops game. The main character of the initial Black Ops game, Alex Mason, was apprehended during this operation and subjected to brainwashing by high-ranking Russian officials.

Initially, the idea of sleeper agents was incorporated into the Black Ops series, a decision that greatly influenced subsequent storylines. Characters like Mason and Frank Woods, who were both highly proficient in combat, had their beginnings in Vietnam. Their exceptional skills caught the attention of the CIA, leading to their recruitment as operatives. During their service, they interacted with CIA personnel such as Jason Hudson and Russell Adler. In particular, Adler guided them throughout the events portrayed in the 2020 game, Black Ops Cold War.

The storyline of Cold War primarily revolves around the pursuit and neutralization of an elusive Soviet spy known as Perseus, whose actions were linked to actual historical events such as the 1979 Iranian Hostage Crisis. Set in the early 1980s, Cold War finds Perseus trying to decipher the detonation sequences for neutron bombs strategically placed in various European locations. The character of Bell, the protagonist of Cold War, gradually uncovers Perseus’ true identity and learns that he himself is a sleeper agent, manipulated by none other than the CIA.

Black Ops 6 Will Finally Fill in the Blanks of Black Ops 2’s Narrative

The storyline of this franchise now aligns with the happenings depicted in 2012’s “Black Ops 2”, where we see a blend of narratives set in the late 1980s alongside the main futuristic backdrop of 2025. In this game, Raul Menendez, the primary antagonist, seeks vengeance against Woods due to his sister’s accidental death during another failed assassination mission. Menendez carries out his revenge during the 1989 Panama Invasion, deceiving Woods into executing a masked Mason, only for Menendez to then kill Hudson and leave Woods permanently disabled.

In the storyline of Black Ops 6, events continue to unfold, largely set in the early 90s. The character Woods, now wheelchair-bound, is pushed out of active duty and into intelligence roles. Russell Adler is falsely accused of being a mole for Menendez within the CIA, which leads him to act independently and alert Woods and his protégé, Troy Marshall, that higher echelons of the agency have been infiltrated by a group called Pantheon. To expose this conspiracy and clear their names, Woods teams up with Adler to covertly establish an unofficial task force, bringing the story arc of the Black Ops series to its latest chapter.
