Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has released its first live-action reveal trailer, probably showcasing one of the main villains of the game, Saddam Hussain. This was literally teased in the Black Ops 6‘s thumbnail image on YouTube, while the Call of Duty blog posted a different featured image for the reveal trailer.
