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 centerpiece of the announcements 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 dimension to the Zombies universe.

The narrative sees Weaver, Grey, Carver, and Maya following clues left by Gabriel Krafft to an excavation site to secure the Sentinel Artifact. The Tomb, situated on ancient burial grounds dating back to 2500 B.C.E., holds secrets that run deeper than initially imagined. While details are scarce, Treyarch hints at connections to a British archeologist, Sir Archibald Fotherington-Smythe.

Gameplay-wise, The Tomb offers a similar experience to Liberty Falls, featuring compact play areas designed for high replayability and numerous Easter eggs. Treyarch also teased a reimagined Wonder Weapon inspired by previous entries and the return of a classic SMG.

Season 2 will also include significant quality-of-life improvements, addressing long-standing community requests. These include tracking up to 10 Calling Card and Camo challenges across Zombies and Multiplayer modes, a co-op pause option for Zombies, and the ability to rejoin Zombies matches with your loadout after disconnection. Separate HUD presets for Zombies and Multiplayer are also on the way.

Treyarch also shared data on the success of Directed Mode, revealing over 480 million hours played and a more than doubled Main Quest completion rate since its launch.

The impact of the SAG-AFTRA strike on voice acting for The Tomb is noteworthy, with Activision previously acknowledging the recasting of some beloved Zombies characters.
