Yes, you can do the New Zealand trick for the release of Black Ops 6, but there's no guarantee it will get you early access this year.

With less than 24 hours to the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 release time, the countdown is now well and truly on. Not only does that mean we'll have a new entry in the FPS series to play, but I imagine a few of us will be taking a trip to New Zealand, too – more on that later.

Black Ops 6 is rolling out across the world (in New Zealand first, as is Call of Duty tradition), and fans are already getting stuck into the shooter’s annual camo grind. For one Call of Duty streamer the race is on for world firsts — with one in the bag already.
