Good evening. The Soviet Union is no more. Despite a potential for instability and chaos, these events clearly serve our national interest, free from the specter of global conflict. Today, we celebrate the mystery of American renewal. Something's going on. Something big. I'm a fire starter. To Fire Starter. I figured if I stuck around hell long enough, I'd see the devil. How's he look? I'm a fire, fire. The agency is compromised. We're being hunted from the inside. You don't have to trust me, Mar, but it might be better if you do. Hey, something you should see. What the hell are we getting into? Don't trust anyone. You broke into a CIA black site. Are you out of your mind? Things got complicated. May God continue to bless the United States of America. You just got a first look at the campaign for Call of Duty Black Ops 6, set in the 1990s after the Cold War ends, where the truth isn't what it seems. It's an honor to stand here.

representing the creative teams at Activision. Please stay tuned after the Showcase, where we will take you inside the studios to hear directly from Treyarch and Raven, who are working on Call of Duty Black Ops 6. You'll get a 25-minute deep dive into the story and a sneak peek at multiplayer and zombies. It's been 10 years since Call of Duty has been in our show. It's been even longer since all Call of Duty players got the same game at the same time. Going forward, everyone will experience the game, including the Black Ops 6 beta, the season expansions, and the updates at launch. There are currently over 100 million people who play Call of Duty every month. We hope to grow that community by making Black Ops 6 the first Call of Duty game that will be available in Game Pass day one. So no matter where you choose to play, everyone is welcome to experience Call of Duty Black Ops 6 on October 25th. I'm incredibly excited for today's show. I'm standing here thinking about

all the passion that has gone into making this show. What it is, it's an honor to share the latest efforts from our partners around the world and from our own creative teams at Activision, Bethesda, Blizzard, and Xbox Game Studios who are doing what I believe is some of their best work ever. And now I get to introduce something that is special to me as someone who has played games for as long as I have. It's amazing that I get to set up this world premiere. So thank you all for joining us, and please enjoy the show. World premiere. [Music] [Music] I [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] who were you before? Who did you love? What did you believe? [Music] It's too late to ask now. We all knew the risks when we ventured out beyond the gates, but you helped us make something greater than the fear and death that surrounded us. We found hope in each other. Need help. I'm surrounded. They're everywhere. There's way more than I was

expecting, and even if we bought the other survivors just one more day, the sacrifice would be worth it. It would always be worth it, and that helped us find the courage to keep going, to fight on when we needed it the most. [Music] I didn't know you well, but we'll keep your memory alive. Every sacrifice we make matters and will never be forgotten. No one is [Music] forgotten. We live on [Music]. Not looking good, old friend. This will take more than you and me. What are you thinking? We need someone to be our eyes and ears in the shadows, and someone to bring a little darkness and the daylight. We're going into the Fade, aren't we, and digging up a lot of buried secrets. What about Darkspawn? Yeah, someone who will stand between us and a pack of demons. You know there will be dragons, right? We'll need someone with fire in their blood. One more thing, this crew needs a leader, someone we can count on, someone that the world can count on.

[Applause], but where are we going to find it? We [Applause]. [Music]. [Music]. We have received a distress call of Unknown Origin. There is no record of star station in this orbit. Something is not right. Will never get back home tra for nothing. C, this is the Serpent's well coming aboard was a mistake. We need to run. Hold very still and choose your words carefully. They will determine how long you live. You trespass in the home of house Theon. Your fate will be decided by the Great Serpent. Can you feel its Embrace encircling your heart, constricting until there is no more you, only us. I'm from The Trackers Alliance. We have a proposal for you. I wish you the best of luck. [Music]. Volthon 76 is sponsored in part by sugar bombs breakfast cereal. Bombs away, folks. If you're just joining us, we're coming to you live in the 10th consecutive hour of our volthon 76 Drive. We've got

operator standing by, and oh, it looks like we've got one Harries on from Skyline back. He's sending the whole family to Vault 76. How about that, Skyline Valley, beautiful country right in the heart of Shenandoah. Oh, Shenandoah, I hear you call. Call now to join Harry and the over 17 million Vault dwellers already on board, and let's keep those numbers climbing. Got four on the line from AVR Medical Center, Wheeling twins conrat. Vault 76 is a growing community, and a strong community can weather any storm. Why, just take a look at our Skyline Valley neighbors in Vault 63. The greatest scientific minds are hard at work cooking up shocking new ways to protect and preserve this Appalachian Eden. Yes, Skyline Valley is a stunning portrait of Mother Nature in repose, from the picturesque Shenandoah National Park to its majestic wildlife and friendly local residents. Skyline Valley is a welcome home to all. And don't forget to bring home a souvenir or two when the bombs started dropping.

don't come a-knocking. Call now to reserve your place in Vault 76. Still not sold? Well, I suppose having skin is not for everyone. Best of luck out there. L the one. [Music] Miss World. [Music] Premiere soon. She'll wake and paint again. Paint a new number. Ticking down every year. One stroke and everyone of that age vanishes into nothingness. Every year she paints again. And every year an expedition departs for the continent with one hopeless mission: destroy the pain so she can never paint death again. We'll break the cycle so she can't steal anyone else's future. This world is full of wonders, yet everywhere we go we walk with death. Do you mean we're the only ones? [Music] Left the [Music] what down. We're not dying. Even if we fail. We lay the trail for those who will come after, right? We are Expedition 33. [Music] Do you think there's a chance my mom's still alive? If your M's anything like you, here she'll keep fighting till we

find her. I hope so. It's just hard to believe this is all really happening. You mean to tell me your mama never told you stories about Critters and Weavers? Oh, you Lu. I come along what sh that's to to T big Gator. I got to drop you off fast after I got you out of that tree. You said you help me find my mom. I ain't of a disposition to be Gator snacks. Well, me neither. We're going to go on. We got to get rid of him. I'm all ears. There's a church SE WS with a big Bell. Go on and ring it. You want to make him come running Tom can by to sound the Bell some church folks once tried to Dynamite him and he didn't take that too kind if you ring that Bell he might scad you better not scad. Go on now scoot. I'll pick you up yonder after to go find your mama trifling ass mudat. Hey, I heard that. Got to move quickly now. Wait, that floating island is the

gator. [Music] Oh, hell no. [Music] [Music] [Music] All right, time to find that [Music] church. There it is. Now, to get over there. [Music] He hurry. [Music] Up and [Music] the hell. Hurry. [Music] [Music] Up. A boat and a church are just me [Music] for in darkness she slumbers and dreams. And for countless generations, mortal heroes have risen to defend her, a faced monsters, tyrants, and beasts of primordial horror. Though they fought amongst themselves, their enmity following them to the most distant shores, we will never be slaves. And even across time and space, their courage never faltered, even upon the very threshold of [Music] death. While new hope blooms on the horizon, the final battle draws near. Now, in the darkness at the very heart of the world, the drums of war thunder once again, and Azeroth at last awakens. The world soul so long denied me shall be mine.

[Music] Fly over Pakistan, altitude 30,000 ft. Approaching Soviet airspace. Listen up, Jack. Your mission is to infiltrate Selino Yas in the Soviet mountains, ensure the safety of Circleoff, and bring him back to the West. Your code name for this mission will be Naked Snake. I'll be referring to you as Snake from now on. The clock is ticking. This will be a sneaking mission. You must not be seen by the enemy. You must leave no trace of your presence. Is that clear? This kind of infiltration is the Fox Unit's specialty. In other words, weapons and equipment to procure on site. That goes for food as well. You're completely naked, just as your name implies. I have to find my own weapons and equipment. Whose crazy idea was this anyway? The mission rests entirely in your hands. The real one-man army. [Music] Freeze, Snake. [Music] Commencing virtuous mission now. I sound as bad as they. [Music] 'Cause I'm as bad as they could. Yeah.

[Music] [Applause] [Music] Your kind meddled where you shouldn't. As long as O is free, your world is in mortal peril. And how is it that you know all of this? Because I am a God too. If you're a God, you're one of them. Why would I do anything to help someone I've sworn to kill? If it's vengeance you want, I'll give it to you. [Music] [Music] You will bow. Come on then, fight me and die. [Applause] We return to you now as the gods of [Music] mankind, rulers of the Greeks and the Norse, the Egyptians and the [Music] Atlanteans. We created mankind to fight for our glory. So rise and wield my wrath. Command beastly chaos, rain down destruction, and unleash our fury. Worship me, claim my power, and legend will be yours. [Music] [Music] Your target is in possession of a radioactive device. Stop Carrington's attack at all costs. Good luck.

[Music] Agent, I always knew I had an instinct. I could see the world differently. I thought it would be like any other mission. I was wrong. Welcome to Garden City, where it's a pleasant 23° all day, every day. How far is his last known location? Local forces are also tracking his whereabouts. You need to find him before they do. I'll have to improvise, generating voice print. [Music] What readings are you getting? We are getting odd readings from your monitor. Can you confirm? I'm looking at the screen right now. Our intel places Carrington on the second floor. When the life we think we [Music] know turns out to be a lie, there's only one way forward: find the [Music] truth. Scan's clear. I'm going in blind. Carrington, damn it, analyze. What am I looking at here? Carrington appears to be targeting a research facility. If he attacks it, the casualties could be astronomical. Agent Stark, it's a pleasure to meet you. T, I could use someone with your skills.

[Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I had to lose everything before I could see what this world was really hiding. I hope you're ready, Agent Dark. Are you all seeing this? Once you open this door, there's no going back. [Applause] [Music] Agent Joanna Dark is caught in the middle of a near future war over advanced technology that threatens the lives of millions. We hope you enjoyed the first look at gameplay, and we can't wait to share more from the developers at the Initiative and Crystal Dynamics. As the game progresses, the creativity and talent of game creators are what make our industry unique, and I'm incredibly proud of our games and our teams. They are building a diverse lineup of titles, which includes new installments and beloved franchises like Doom, The Dark Ages from ID Software, updates and expansions to our ongoing games like World of Warcraft, The War Within from Blizzard, handcrafted original concepts like South of Midnight from Compulsion Games, and blockbuster games with massive audiences like Call

of Duty Black Ops 6 from Activision. On behalf of our creative teams at Activision, Bethesda, Blizzard, King, and Xbox Game Studios, we thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to getting their ambitious games in your hands. Diablo is one of the most enduring and beloved series in all of gaming. We're thrilled to have Diablo I in Game Pass, where millions of you made it your favorite way to play. This October, Diablo I: Vessel of Hatred expands the demon-slaying experience with an all-new character class, a new region, and of course, the next chapter in the acclaimed story. Here is the opening cinematic for the game. Let's take a look.

Young one, are you all right? You're not well. Please, please, please, my child, let me help. Stay away from me.

N is that how I raised you? No, mother, but I must carry this burden alone. I must get to Akarat's Tomb.

But look at you, you're killing yourself. I don't know how much longer I can. I'm here.

Little Magpie, I missed you so much. I'm so proud of you, but now I need you to give up. No, no, no, of course it's you. You must. Let's get. Love me. Let's go. No, you made a choice, and I warned you, Little Magpie. There won't be consequences. [Music] Surrender. No, I control the stone. You hold the stone. You control nothing. Maybe you're right. Maybe I could use some [Music] help. For Che. Oh, right. [Music] You. So, you want to know all about heroes, do you? Well, you have come to the right place, 'cause, uh, who better to tell you all about them than perhaps the greatest hero of them all? Yeah, there he is in all his finery. Cheers. [Music] I mean, sure, you get your mega fans. You are like literally my favorite person. You haters. It's like a fan club, but we hate you. You're a chers. And, uh, the occasional giant toad cu reason. But it's more than that. It's about the choices you make. I'm a hero. I

should do what I want. You thought you could save her. You know it's your life and death stuff that's what defines you. Is it really uh stays with you? I knew this one hero. I took her in when she had nowhere else to go. Welcome to the most exclusive Club in all albian. Thought I'd get her out there make the most of her gift but you know what it's like when you're young you have a point to prove. I tell you this kid she had it all the skill the talent the power she was something else all right she [Music] was terrifying so yeah I knew this girl once who made all the wrong choices Humphrey she's [Music] back I'm going to fix it this place and no one is going to stand in my way World premiere use this make your own rules it's my turn RIS [Music] [Music] World premiere [Music] there was nothing left for me in the city so I have traveled back to where I

grew up here. I found my childhood home in ruins. Why hasn't my aunt taken good care of it? The bridge to her house is broken, so I can't even ask her. [Music] I will make the tree stump a cozy home again, no matter what it takes. And no matter how hard it gets, I will fight and find meaning and beauty out here. Some will say that in the dead of winter, a small city mouse doesn't stand a chance. Maybe so, but I must keep believing that every winter leads to spring. Finally, no world premiere. My mixtapes bend others to my will. It's a strange, almost cosmic [Music] talent. There have been noise complaints, okay? [Music] [Music] [Music] Canal Radar Service coming in without daylight level on 1. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Your world premiere. I swore I'd never use my power [Music] again, but two nights

ago, I found my friend's body in the woods. [Music] I don't know who I can trust or who trusts me, but my friend Safie is dead. So why can I still hear your voice, man? Focusing my power, I somehow shifted into a parallel timeline. Here, Sophie is still alive. The danger stalks our every step, and only I can investigate both realities. Hang on. Parallel world, it's the same as this one, except you're dead. I can still save Sophie if I can solve and to prevent the same murder across two timelines. [Music] Are you sure you want to investigate these, Indy? I can't let this go. It could be the best-kept secret in history. What are you going to do, Indiana? These artifacts have a deep connection to something in the past. Boss believes they hold a kind of power, a discovery that can change the world. What were you doing out there? Fresh air. We have to find the stones, Gina, or they will. If you were to draw a line through these ancient SES around the globe, you'd

get a perfectly aligned Circle. The great circle exactly I intercepted the mor could coming from the malayas where Vos is sending all of his men. [Music] Is that a battleship? Yep, let's get a closer look. Got to find the stone and get off this ship. What's that in his hands? What does it say? Earth something. What was that? We'd better hide. He CH. [Music] Hey, hands behind your head. [Music] Where's the stone, you American rat? What stone? Have you ever heard of H angst, fear of heights? Yes, and I have it. I endured this Dreadful Mountain even if my mind was screaming every step of the way because of a concept you narrow-minded Americans will never understand, devotion, total and absolute. Devotion to the Fatherland. You have no purpose. What you have is your stupid American cartoons. Choo cho choo. [Music] You laugh and dance, celebrating your own idiocy and drinking some piss you call beer. I will walk through fire for the devoted men of

You must open yourself to its mysteries, tend to its purpose, no matter how wild, and become what the living lands truly need: its protector. [Music] [Music] [Music] World [Music] premiere emergency at Windscale Atom [Music] plant is not emergency but disaster now. The worst seems to be over, requiring target [Music] [Music] [Music] Lord War, their soldiers killed everyone. I do not fear our enemy. They talk of peace and dream of [Music] War. Our people deserve to be freed of the oppressor's grasp. Vengeance is our longly pass. Now believe me, there are other ways to heal. People so quick to abuse their power do not deserve to keep it. There is much we will learn from each other. You can't see when two people fit, when they will be together. There is no honor in pring on the week. Together we will bring justice back.
