Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has started a new chapter in the history of the franchise. The omni movement of the game has set it apart from other COD titles. With this feature enabled, players can now slide in any direction they want. It looks like, once again, this game is going to offer a big surprise to players. A latest leak appeared to suggest that Black Ops 6 may reintroduce the fan-favorite wall-running mechanics.
With omni-movement, Black Ops 6 has set the bar high for upcoming COD titles. However, before this multi-sided movement technique, players had another popular movement mechanic called wall running. As the name suggests, it used to allow players to stick to the wall and run on it for a short time. This feature was missing from the franchise titles for a long time.
According to a recent leak, Black Ops 6 might bring back the wall-running feature. Notably, this feature was first introduced in Black Ops 3, and it suited the game’s fast-paced, vertical combat system better than anything.
The current version of BO6 doesn’t have this specific feature, but some leaked footage on X (formerly Twitter) showed wall running. Initially, players thought these were older footage from other titles, but gradually they found out they are all from BO6.
A renowned Call of Duty leaker revealed that Treyarch added this feature in the Season 3 Reloaded update files, but they never made it official. However, it looks like the feature makes its way to the game through some glitch that players are now exploiting.
The return of wall running was initially associated with Call of Duty 2025. Rumors indicated that Treyarch has been developing the sequel to Black Ops 6. Despite there being no concrete news of this game, its official title, or gameplay elements, players assumed that this title would come for a playtest this year. Even players have been assuming they'll get Modern Warfare 4 in between Call of Duty 2025 and 2026.
Rumors have been indicating that the next Black Ops title that will probably come this year may blend wall running and omni-movement to create some unique gameplay experience. Though nothing has yet been clarified, if wall running returns in Black Ops 6 or even in the upcoming title, it will be a valuable addition to the list.
The leaked information about wall-running has stirred the community's anticipation. Debate has been going on about what this feature may potentially add to the gameplay. The addition of wall running in Black Ops 6 or the upcoming COD title will blend innovation with nostalgia. More importantly, this feature can redefine gameplay dynamics and reignite enthusiasm among fans.
