New Zombie Map Revealed for BO6 S2

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 today's 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 thrilling location to the Zombies universe in less than two weeks.

Treyarch's narrative summary reveals that Weaver, Grey, Carver, and Maya, following Gabriel Krafft's clues, investigate an excavation site to secure the Sentinel Artifact. The Tomb, situated on ancient burial grounds dating back to 2500 B.C.E., remained undisturbed for centuries until the early 1900s, hinting at secrets yet to be unearthed.

While details are scarce, The Tomb's gameplay is described as reminiscent of Liberty Falls—a smaller, replayable map with a focus on tight spaces and hidden Easter eggs. The map is connected to a British archaeologist, Sir Archibald Fotherington-Smythe.

Season 2 also introduces a reimagined Wonder Weapon drawing inspiration from previous titles, and the return of a classic SMG. Further details on these additions remain under wraps.

Significant quality-of-life improvements are also promised, addressing long-standing community requests. These include increased tracking limits for Calling Card and Camo challenges (up to 10 each in Zombies and Multiplayer), a co-op pause option for Zombies, and the ability to rejoin Zombies matches with your loadout after being disconnected. Separate HUD presets for Zombies and Multiplayer will also be implemented.

To commemorate 115 Day, players can enjoy double GobbleGum earn rates and double XP for players, weapons, and the battle pass until 10 AM PT on January 21st. Treyarch also shared impressive statistics for the story-driven Directed Mode, revealing over 480 million hours played. The team notes that Directed Mode has more than doubled the average Main Quest completion rate since its launch.

The upcoming release of The Tomb will be particularly noteworthy given Activision's recent acknowledgement of voice actor recasting for some beloved Zombies characters due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
