warzone's new frank woods cutscene makes key black ops lore canon

A new Warzone cutscene introduces fan-favorite character Frank Woods, hinting at a critical moment in Black Ops lore. This cutscene aligns with Black Ops 2, where Woods is confined to a wheelchair after an ordeal involving Alex Mason. The cutscene appears ahead of Microsoft's reveal of Black Ops 6, presumed to be set during the '90s Gulf War. Warzone players are eager to uncover the triggering mechanism for Woods' appearance while engaging in related challenges. The cutscene suggests Woods will act as an intelligence figure in Black Ops 6, enhancing the storyline connectivity within the series.

The fate of Alex Mason remains uncertain as Black Ops 2 has two possible endings, one where Mason survives and another where he is dead. Black Ops 6 may clarify which ending is canon.

The Call of Duty: Black Ops series has been a staple in first-person shooters since its initial release in 2010. Developed by Treyarch and published by Activision, the series has consistently pushed narrative boundaries within the shooter genre, offering players intricate storylines and multi-faceted characters like Frank Woods and Alex Mason. The intrigue surrounding the storyline's continuity keeps the fan base deeply engaged.
