Summary
According to a new leak, the fan-favorite prestige system could be returning toCall of Duty: Black Ops 6. The prestige system is a classicCall of Dutyfeature appearing all the way back in 2007’sCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Once a player achieves the highest rank in multiplayer, they can opt to reset unlocks, ranks, and challenges for a prestige emblem. The player would then start the process over and once they hit rank 55, they could prestige again. Now, that feature is looking to return inCall of Duty:Black Ops 6, according to recent leaks.
Despite the feature’s popularity, its appearance in the franchise has been inconsistent since 2019’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfare. Instead of reaching the highest rank in multiplayer and then resetting to continue the process, more recent games have opted for a battle pass system. With this, players' multiplayer progression would be done via seasonal progression. Instead of 55 being the max rank a player could achieve, players could level all the way to 1,000 depending on the game.
Butaccording to leaker BobNetworkUK on Twitter,Call of Duty: Black Ops 6will see the return of the classic prestige system. BobNetworkUK has been reporting on variousother changes coming toBlack Ops 6as well, including omni-directional movement. In the games since 2019’sModern Warfare,the system, when it appears, works differently than the older games. Rather than the classic system, players would just level continuously. Then, every 50 levels, the player would prestige. Every season, players can prestige four times, with level 200 being considered “prestige master.” This is how the system has worked fromBlack Ops Cold Waronward.

What this means for the battle pass system that has been inCall of Dutysince 2019 has yet to be seen. Not much is known aboutBlack Ops 6as a whole.
