Black Ops 6 Zombies Season 2 Plans Include a New Tomb Map and More Quality-of-Life Changes

Treyarch Unveils "The Tomb," a New Map for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies, in 115 Day Celebration

Treyarch is celebrating 115 Day with a flurry of announcements for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies, including the highly anticipated reveal of a new map, "The Tomb." This annual January 15th event brings a comprehensive blog post detailing upcoming zombie-themed surprises.

The star of the show is "The Tomb," a desert-themed Zombies map launching with Season 2 on January 28th. This follows closely on the heels of Season 1's "Citadelle des Morts," adding another thrilling location to the Zombies universe.

Treyarch's storyline summary reveals that Weaver, Grey, Carver, and Maya, following Gabriel Krafft's final instructions, investigate an excavation site to secure the Sentinel Artifact. The catacombs, situated on ancient burial grounds dating back to 2500 B.C.E., remained undisturbed for centuries until the early 1900s, hinting at a deeper mystery yet to unfold.

The Tomb's gameplay is described as reminiscent of "Liberty Falls," the smaller, more replayable map from Black Ops 6's October launch. Expect tighter spaces and a wealth of hidden Easter eggs.

Season 2 also promises a revamped Wonder Weapon, drawing inspiration from previous titles, and the return of a beloved iconic SMG. Further details on both remain under wraps.

Significant quality-of-life improvements are also on the horizon, addressing long-standing community requests. These include the ability to track up to 10 Calling Card and 10 Camo challenges across Zombies and Multiplayer modes. A co-op pause option for Zombies, allowing the party leader to pause mid-game, is also included. Season 2 will also separate HUD presets for Zombies and Multiplayer, and allow players to rejoin Zombies matches with their loadouts if disconnected.

Treyarch also shared impressive statistics for the story-driven Directed Mode, revealing players have logged over 480 million hours in Black Ops 6 Zombies. The team notes that since its launch, the average Main Quest completion rate has more than doubled, indicating its success in onboarding new players.

The upcoming release of The Tomb will also bring renewed attention to the voice acting within the Zombies mode, following Activision's acknowledgment of character recasting due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
