In adding to the ever-growing list of evidence that they have truly become one of, if not the most anti-consumer video game developers on the planet, Activision Blizzard has confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will not only require a constant internet connection in order to access its single player campaign, but that it will also bar all accounts which have previously been banned from any of the franchise’s most recent entries from accessing the new game’s online multiplayer modes.

Following this break down, the very end of the blog post saw Activision Blizzard detail three ‘less-than-exciting’ pieces of information about Black Ops 6:
