As someone who has spent countless hours immersed in the Call of Duty universe, I must admit that I am both surprised and relieved by the recent decision to censor the controversial content in Black Ops 6’s beta. It’s not every day we see such a swift response from developers in acknowledging and addressing potentially offensive material, especially in games as popular and influential as this one.
The Beta for “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6” has been revised by Treyarch to remove some contentious material. Although it might not be immediately apparent, this update affects the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X versions of the early access multiplayer beta, which is officially known as such. The Internet, being vigilant, has noticed the changes before the open beta starts on September 6 and ends on September 9. In preparation for this open beta, Treyarch and Activision have edited one of the calling cards in “BO6”.
The controversial calling card under scrutiny originally depicted elements suggesting a connection to 9/11, such as the Twin Towers, an airplane, and a pixelated image of George W. Bush (who was president during the incident). In a time when video games strive to steer clear of potentially controversial content, this imagery has been altered. However, it’s uncertain how this depiction ended up in the final version, as the process leading to its inclusion is still unknown.
On the revised version of the calling card, the original images – one depicting towers under threat from an imminent plane collision and another featuring a censored image of George W. Bush – have been replaced. This alteration has given the card a much simpler, less distinctive appearance.
Currently, neither Treyarch nor Activision has provided a statement regarding the recent alteration. It seems unlikely that they will offer any insight into the matter in the future, though if one of them surprises us by speaking up about the change, we’ll make sure to modify our report accordingly.
For now, it’s quite likely that this adjustment was done with the intention of avoiding any potential offense towards players participating in the upcoming closed and open betas, as well as those who will play the game when it launches on various platforms later this year (October 24) – PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. Access to the ongoing closed beta is currently limited to pre-orders or Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
