Black Ops 6 Zombies S2: New Tomb Map, QoL Updates Unveiled

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 treats Call of Duty fans to a comprehensive blog 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 Season 1's Citadelle des Morts, adding another thrilling location to the Zombies universe.

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

The Tomb's gameplay is described as reminiscent of Liberty Falls, offering compact play areas designed for high replayability and numerous Easter eggs. The developers also teased a reimagined Wonder Weapon drawing inspiration from previous titles and the return of a classic SMG.

Season 2 will also bring significant quality-of-life improvements, including community-requested features such as tracking up to 10 Calling Card and Camo challenges across Zombies and Multiplayer. A co-op pause option for Zombies, allowing the party leader to pause mid-game, is also included. Separate HUD presets for Zombies and Multiplayer, and the ability to rejoin Zombies matches with your loadout after being disconnected, are further enhancements.

Treyarch also shared impressive statistics for the story-driven Directed Mode, revealing that players have logged over 480 million hours in Black Ops 6 Zombies. The team highlighted that Directed Mode has more than doubled the average Main Quest completion rate, from 3.38% to 8.23%.

The upcoming release of The Tomb will also bring renewed focus to the voice acting in Zombies mode, following Activision's acknowledgment of recent casting changes due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
