Activision has clarified that Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 won’t actually require a 300 GB download despite previous messaging. Players began to panic about the size of this year’s Call of Duty after noticing its Xbox store page yesterday. At the time, the page listed that the game would require a 309.85 GB download for those hoping to hop into the post-Cold War first-person shooter when it launches this fall. That'll put a pretty big dent in the hard drive of most PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S consoles, so players were, understandably, very concerned. The company has since cleared up the confusion in a post on X/Twitter. Activision’****** FPS franchise has been known to demand large amounts of storage in recent years, but fans can rest easier known that ****** Ops 6 won't take up quite as much space. Activision wrote, “Correction: The estimated file size currently displayed on the ****** Ops 6 pre-order pages does not represent the download size or disk footprint for ****** Ops 6. The sizes as shown include the full installations of Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, Warzone and all relevant content packs, including all localized languages combined which is not representative of a typical player install experience.” #BlackOps6 Correction: The estimated file size currently displayed on the ****** Ops 6 pre-order pages does not represent the download size or disk footprint for ****** Ops 6. The sizes as shown include the full installations of Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, Warzone… — Call of Duty Updates (@CODUpdates) June 10, 2024 The message adds that players will have the freedom to download only Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 without any of its language packs if they *******. Unfortunately, the post does not reveal just how big the game will be but promises to share more information “closer to launch.” IGN has reached out to Activision for comment. Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 was revealed as Treyarch’s latest addition to the ****** Ops series earlier this year, but our first good look at the game arrived yesterday at the Xbox Games Showcase and ****** Ops 6 Direct. This ‘90s-set installment introduces a host of new weapons and features, including omnidirectional movement and new Zombies maps for the return of its round-based mode. As the game introduces a new era of Call of Duty, it also means content from Modern Warfare 2 and 3 will not carry over.

The Coalition is taking fans back to where it all started with Gears of War: E-Day, and that means revisiting the horrors of Emergence Day and the Locust horde. Brand Director Nicole Fawcette and Creative Director Matt Searcy opened up about the studio’s ******* to focus on the “scary” aspects of Gears during an interview with IGN. Searcy says the team wants to “capture a moment in time” and “tell a very intimate story about what happened” to the people in one of Sera’s cities. “For us, it’s like a what-if story,” he said. “What if the ground opened up and monsters came out? Yeah, it’s set on a fictional, other planet, but there are very human reactions and stories we get to tell. To do that, we need to be able to tell a story that feels like a horror story.” Searcy continues, explaining that Gears of War: E-Day will still have the heart and sci-fi the series is known for, but it will also focus in on this specific moment in time by telling a story that takes place over only a few days. The decision to lean in more on horror comes from The Coalition’s ******* to recapture the feeling of ******* many players might remember experiencing when playing through the series. "But when people tell you what they remember playing, the things that stood out to them, the feelings, a lot of it is about these, kind of dark, almost horror-esque, scary moments.” “We looked back at what people felt like when they played Gears of War or any of the Gears – Gears 4 included,” he said. “But when people tell you what they remember playing, the things that stood out to them, the feelings, a lot of it is about these, kind of dark, almost horror-esque, scary moments.” Searcy continued: “So we basically took that feeling, that vision that's in everybody's head, and we're like, ‘That's the game we're going to build.’ We're going to build that game with all the skills we've learned, with all the technology we've built, and sort of go hard at that. So definitely part of the story is about reintroducing the locust to Gears as scary monsters from the ground come up. And then you realize as it goes on, this is not just monsters, there's an army here and it's ******* than anybody thinks it is.” Fawcette elaborated on how new technology is allowing The Coalition to present the Locusts in new, horrifying ways. “Through Unreal Engine 5, we now can show the locust at that visual fidelity that is believable as scary creatures from the subterranean,” she said. “And so, like you saw in the trailer, we're really kind of leaning into those horror vibes as fans remember it and as time has moved on. What was scary in 2006 is very different than 2024. There's sort of that just doubling down on how people remember how they feel about it.” Why E-Day? Gears of War: E-Day is detouring away from the storylines of Gears of War 4 and Gears 5, but as The Coalition explained in an Xbox Wire post, they won't be abandoning that era of the Gears saga forever. Searcy tells us that the studio chose to go back in time for their next Gears of War game not because they were finished with the previous storyline but because revisiting Marcus and Dom's relationship made sense for the team itself. “For us, there is a story here, for our studio, of how we found our way to E-Day," he explained. "It was about, sort of, reflection, and part of it is just the energy that rolls up about, this was the story we wanted to tell at this time. So, it wasn't really about picking between these things, it was just a snowball of the stuff that was on the table and this is the one we wanted to do right now.” "***** yeah. We want to make this." Fawcette chimed in, saying that when the idea for Gears of War: E-Day came about, it was a feeling of "***** yeah. We want to make this." Searcy continued: "We love those characters, and like I said, it's really nice to have a franchise where we can tell stories of different places. When we're at Gears 4 and 5 we tell these stories, and Tactics, that goes at a different time, and all these sorts of things. For us, it is just the one we wanted to work on now is the one that felt right." The Coalition revealed Gears of War: E-Day during yesterday’s Xbox Games Showcase. We’ve not seen any gameplay yet, but this first footage promised a return to the series’ roots with a touching moment that saw the return of fan-favorite character, Dom Santiago. It’s been 13 years since fans watched Dom him sacrifice himself for his fellow COG brothers in Gears of War 3, so while Fawcette and Searcy promise a horrific prequel that explores one of humanity’s darkest days, it’s sure to be an emotional journey, too. Gears of War: E-Day is currently without a release date. For everything else you announced at the Xbox Games Showcase, you can click here. Michael Cripe is a freelance contributor with IGN.
