Once a year, Activision takes Call of Duty hype to the next level, by inviting dozens of creators to a special in-person event.
At COD NEXT, the publisher showcases its upcoming releases, which usually consist of a brand-new AAA game as well as major changes to Call of Duty Warzone.
Here’s everything you need to know about when and where COD NEXT is set to take place, and how you can tune in:

COD NEXT is therefore kicking off in: .
How to Watch
Fans will be able to tune into COD NEXT 2024 via the official streams on Twitch and YouTube.
We’ve linked both of the relevant channels here:
Of course, with so many streamers also taking part in the event, many viewers may prefer to watch the show from their favorite creator’s channel.
Nearer to August 28, we’ll also embed the official stream here, so you can watch right from this page!
What to Expect
Call of Duty NEXT 2024 will reveal a new look at Black Ops 6 Multiplayer gameplay, acting as the Worldwide Multiplayer Reveal for Treyarch’s upcoming game.
Activision confirms that we’ll be getting a deep dive into Omnimovement innovations, as well as maps, modes, and more coming to the Black Ops 6 Beta.
Last year’s stream was around four hours long and featured an extensive look at content creators playing MW3 Multiplayer across several matches.
What’s more, Activision has also confirmed that COD NEXT will reveal a new Warzone map, Area 99, as well as new changes coming to the Battle Royale.
We’ll be getting live gameplay of the map in action, as well as a discussion with Raven Software that should reveal what we can expect from Area 99.
Whether or not Area 99 is a Resurgence or full-scale BR map, we’ll have to wait and see.
Fans might be surprised to learn that Verdansk isn’t coming to Black Ops 6 at launch, after all. Instead, rumors suggest that the remake seen in MW3’s Campaign will arrive later in the game’s lifespan.
Finally, we also know that the events will offer a brand-new look at Liberty Falls, the second launch map coming to Black Ops 6 Zombies.
We’ve already seen the return of Edward Richtofen in the Liberty Falls launch trailer, but our first look at gameplay will arrive at COD NEXT.
Are There Any Rewards?
Yes, Activision has confirmed that it will offer viewers in-game rewards for tuning into the event, via Twitch and YouTube drops.
Here’s what’s up for grabs:
- The Redactor – Weapon Blueprint
- Tri Harder – Weapon Charm
- Mine – Emblem
- Earning Stripes – Calling Card
Users will need to make sure their Activision accounts are linked to their platform of choice in order to claim the free content.
Just two days after the conclusion of COD NEXT, the Black Ops 6 Beta will then go live in early access.
Therefore, we won’t be waiting long to go hands-on with the game, after watching our favorite creators check it out at the event.
