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 Season 1's Citadelle des Morts, adding another thrilling location to the Zombies universe in under two weeks.

The narrative sees Weaver, Grey, Carver, and Maya following Gabriel Krafft's clues to an excavation site to secure the Sentinel Artifact. The Tomb, situated on ancient burial grounds dating back to 2500 B.C.E., promises a captivating storyline with connections to a British archaeologist, Sir Archibald Fotherington-Smythe.

Gameplay-wise, The Tomb offers a similar experience to Liberty Falls, featuring compact play spaces designed for high replayability and numerous Easter eggs. Treyarch also hints at a reimagined Wonder Weapon drawing inspiration from past titles and the return of a classic SMG.

Season 2 also introduces several 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 is added, allowing the party leader to pause matches. Separate HUD presets for Zombies and Multiplayer will be implemented, and players will be able to rejoin Zombies matches with their loadout if disconnected.
