Microsoft previously revealed that its Xbox Games Showcase 2024 would be followed up by a mysterious post-show segment diving deep into an unannounced game, akin to last year's Starfield Direct. We now know that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be the segment's star.

"GG to all who guessed right," Xbox tweeted earlier today. "Don't miss the Xbox Games Showcase followed by Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct on Sunday, June 9." The Xbox Games Showcase is currently set to begin at 10 am PT, 1 pm ET, and 6 pm BST, streaming from the company's YouTube channels and elsewhere.  

The Call of Duty social media accounts shed more light on what to expect, teasing that the Black Ops 6 Direct will give us a "first in-depth look at all-new gameplay and product announcements."

Last year's Starfield Direct ran for about 40 minutes, zooming in and sweeping through all of the spacefaring epic's features - combat, skills, leveling up, ship building, companions, space travel, and much more were shown off - and we can expect a similar blow out for the upcoming Black Ops 6 too, though there's no word on how long the Direct will run for.
