Mysterious teasers appear for new ‘Call Of Duty’ game
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has begun its marketing campaign, with a mysterious new website launched containing a short, live-action teaser trailer for the game.
A website has been launched, thetruthlies.com. On it, there’s an old analogue TV, similar to the 2020 Black Ops Cold War reveal. On the TV there is some grainy, live-action footage. It shows a group of people going into a “federally closed area” where they clamber through some scrub and a cliff face. Security guards show up in the morning and it turns out they’ve left a series of banners reading “the truth lies” alongside a Cerberus logo on none other than Mount Rushmore.
The TV has six channels, but only the first two show the trailer. The others could get more footage in the following days, weeks, and months, or they could just be to tease that this is Black Ops 6.

The second channel shows people putting up a poster of Mount Rushmore with the presidents’ eyes scratched out and “the truth lies” printed on the bottom. The footage from both videos is very shaky, giving it a real DIY feel.
The Black Ops games are all about government and military conspiracy theories and shadowy special operations missions, so this kind of marketing campaign feels right up its street.
A report from late last year suggested this next Call of Duty would indeed be a Black Ops entry and that it would be set during the Gulf War. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the latest entry in the series, recently came under fire for its £70 King Kong crossover.
In other news, it was recently announced that Life By You, a simulation game many see as a potential The Sims rival, has been delayed indefinitely as “more development time is needed.”
