As Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 readies for the release of Season 2 on 28th January, developer Treyarch has shared initial details of Zombies mode’s next map, The Tomb – which plunges players deep beneath the earth, down into ancient catacombs.
“As the rumours have it,” Treyarch explains in a post on the Call of Duty website, “a British archeologist by the name of Sir Archibald Fotherington-Smythe conducted an excavation at the site back in 1908 with grand expectations. Although no one can say for sure what became of him, a handful of photographs from his doomed expedition have recently surfaced…”
Picking up after the events at Citadelle des Morts – Zombies mode’s third Black Ops 6 map, introduced during Season 1 – The Tomb sees Weaver, Grey, Carver, and Maya following Gabriel Krafft’s final words to a nearby excavation site as they continue their search for the Sentinel Artifact. From there, the only way is down – deep into long-undisturbed catacombs built on an ancient burial ground, and perhaps even deeper still.
Treyarch says The Tomb has been designed to offer a similar experience to Zombies mode’s Liberty Falls map, featuring tighter play spaces with a focus on replayability. It’s also promising “plenty” of Easter Eggs, and a reimagined Wonder Weapon inspired by the series’ past. More specific gameplay details will be shared closer to The Tomb’s release – but in the meantime, the studio has revealed a number of other additions coming to Zombies mode in Season 2.
