In the Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Live-Action Reveal Trailer, Bill Clinton Says ‘Your Whole Life Is a Lie’

Microsoft has released the Call of Duty Black Ops 6 live-action reveal trailer, and in it we hear from a few familiar faces.

Activision’s marketing so far has revolved around teasing fans with cryptic nods to the Gulf War of the early ‘90s, and this trailer continues the conspiracy theories with a few words of wisdom from world leaders central to the military action that took place in Iraq during the decade.

Former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush, as well as ex-UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Iraq leader Saddam Hussein, combine to utter words from the shadows that allude to some grand conspiracy the player will presumably unravel over the course of Black Ops 6’s campaign.

“The truth is, your whole life is a lie,” Clinton said, with a smirk. “Nothing is what it seems,” Saddam Hussein concluded. “But if it’s truth you seek… look in the dark.”

Activision’s messaging on Black Ops 6 calls it “the dark new chapter” of the Call of Duty franchise. But just how dark? Will players fight within Saddam Hussein’s palace, touching directly on the real-world events of the Gulf War? Will Black Ops 6 actually feature the likes of Bill Clinton and Saddam Hussein in-game, as Ronald Reagan featured in Black Ops Cold War?

One character we do know set to appear in Black Ops 6 is Russell Adler from Black Ops Cold War, as spotted by Call of Duty fan account CharlieIntel on X/Twitter.

Microsoft pointed fans to its Xbox Games Showcase event as well as its Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Direct set to take place on June 9, 2024, from 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK. Then it will share a first in-depth look at Black Ops 6 gameplay.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has confirmed Black Ops 6 is set to launch day-one on Xbox Game Pass. It is the first Call of Duty game to do so, and follows Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
