Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has broken multiple records for the franchise, with the recent beta being the biggest beta in the franchise's history. These records could be a sign that the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will set a new precedent for the Call of Duty franchise going forward.

The Black Ops 6 open beta was held from September 6 to September 9, giving all players the opportunity to try out the game's multiplayer a month before launch. In the open beta, players had access to a slew of weapons and gear, eight multiplayer maps, a few game modes like Mosh Pit and Face Off, and a max level of 30. While leveling up, Black Ops 6 beta testers unlock exclusive rewards that become available at launch on October 25, including a new weapon blueprint and emblem. In addition, Treyarch implemented various changes to the open beta based on player feedback from the Black Ops 6 early access beta, including a nerf to the powerful Jackal PDW SMG. This free open beta proved to be quite enticing to new players and returning Call of Duty fans, according to stats that Treyarch shared on September 10.

Activision's official Call of Duty Twitter account revealed that the Black Ops 6 beta was the biggest Call of Duty beta to date, breaking several records for the franchise. The beta experienced the largest number of total players to date for the franchise, with the most hours and matches ever played for a Call of Duty beta as well. Further, Treyarch confirms that the Black Ops 6 beta had the most playtime per player, setting another new record for the franchise.

Data from the Black Ops 6 beta was gathered during the early access and open beta periods by the development team at Treyarch. It's worth noting that exact statistics for each record were not disclosed by Activision and Treyarch, however. Nonetheless, the developers are excited for players to discover "more to come" when Black Ops 6 launches next month.

At launch, Black Ops 6 players will have access to 16 multiplayer maps, alongside various modes and a full suite of weapons, gear, and more. What's more, the game will feature an in-depth campaign mode and a traditional round-based Zombies mode, which are signature features of Treyarch's most beloved Call of Duty games. Players can also expect a year of post-launch support over the course of multiple seasons for Black Ops 6.

We have good and bad news for Sonic Adventure fans. Well, we actually have two rounds of bad news, so let's get that out of the way first: Sonic Adventure 3 isn't in development right now, and the team doesn't think a solo Chao Garden game would work.

The good news? Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka would "love" to make Sonic Adventure 3 at some point. This comes from an interview with VGC, in which Iizuka touched on the possibility of a third Sonic Adventure game after all of these years.

The possibility of another Sonic Adventure game came up when Iizuka was shooting down the idea of a Chao Garden spin-off.

"It’s not a standalone game, it’s integrated into the whole Adventure series gameplay, so we can’t just break it off and make it a thing," says Iizuka. "If you’re asking for Chao Garden and Adventure 3, then that’s pretty much asking for Adventure 3."


Of course, many fans are asking for Sonic Adventure 3, to which Iizuka has more positive thoughts to share. "I think at some time I’d like to say ‘Hey, yeah, we’re making Adventure 3’, but we don’t have plans for that yet," he explains. "It’s just one of those things that, if the stars align and it can all happen, then yeah, we’d love to make it."

So, if we get Sonic Adventure 3, then it's looking like we'll get another Chao Garden as well. But we also know that one was considered for Sonic Frontiers before being scrapped, so it's possible that future non-Adventure games will include one too.

In the meantime, the next game will be Sonic X Shadow Generations, which launches on October 25.
