00:00We're all very proud and excited about this game and we can't wait to see fans get their hands on it.
00:07At the end of Cold War, our heroes kind of saved the day, we had contained the Dark Aether.
00:12Richtofen imprisoned them somewhere.
00:14Fast forward six years and our crew have been in the deepest, darkest hole
00:19that the Director could find to conceal them from the rest of the world
00:22and we will be breaking them out and discovering the state of the world.
00:26All of the characters have gone under quite a bit of a change.
00:29Prison changes people, that's kind of inevitable.
00:31Our crew for Zombies this game is Weaver, Dr. Grey, Carver and Maya.
00:37The first three were our handlers of Cold War.
00:39You got Weaver who's this grizzled veteran, used to be a CIA spy, spec ops soldier.
00:44He's been through a lot since the events of Cold War.
00:47I think it's hit him harder than most because he failed his team
00:51and he's had six years to have that guilt amass.
00:55Grey has undergone a transformation.
00:58She's physically toughened up a lot compared to the kind of lab geek that she was
01:02and that's going to be very important now that she's boots on ground.
01:05I'm 46.
01:07Carver is the hardcore military guy.
01:10He's been stripped of his rank.
01:12Trying to find his place could be something that he could possibly struggle with.
01:17You're supposed to be dead.
01:19Maya is a new character that we're adding.
01:22She's coming into this story desperately trying to find her brother.
01:25She's had to make an unlikely ally in the form of Peck.
01:29This is Maya.
01:31She's with me.
01:33Dr. Peck was a villain from the previous game.
01:35So they are not happy to see him.
01:37That kind of adds suspicion to Maya's character in everyone's eyes.
01:40Why are you hanging out with this guy?
01:42He's part of the reason we're here. You can't trust him.
01:44But they quickly realize that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
01:48So they all are aligned on wanting to hunt down Richtofen and getting revenge.
01:53All of us here have a common enemy.
01:55The guy who locked you up.
01:57We're going to be having hero-character interactions.
02:00So they're going to be speaking to each other.
02:02All those years behind the bars. Feels good to get hands on again.
02:06Pace yourself, Carver. I think we're just getting started.
02:09That's only going to be happening when they play the dedicated crew.
02:13They interact with each other.
02:15You get a lot more information about how their relationships sort of change.
02:19You can still play as any other operator.
02:21But if you choose to play as these hero characters,
02:23you're just going to get a richer experience.
02:25Because there's just more narrative content.
02:27To put the players actually into the characters that are living the story,
02:31it brings back that tightness that I think fans loved
02:35and are going to really welcome back this time around.
02:37The teams have been working so hard
02:39and we're really excited for everyone to experience
02:41the characters and the story in Black Ops 6.
