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 surprises for zombie enthusiasts.

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 less than two weeks.

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 catacombs, situated on ancient burial grounds dating back to 2500 B.C.E., remained undisturbed until the early 1900s, hinting at a deeper mystery.

The Tomb's gameplay is described as reminiscent of Liberty Falls, promising compact play spaces and high replayability due to numerous hidden Easter eggs. Treyarch also teased a reimagined Wonder Weapon drawing inspiration from previous titles, and the return of a classic SMG.

Season 2 will also introduce several community-requested quality-of-life improvements. These include tracking up to 10 Calling Card and 10 Camo challenges across Zombies and Multiplayer modes, a co-op pause option for Zombies (controlled by the party leader), separate HUD presets for Zombies and Multiplayer, and the ability to rejoin Zombies matches with your loadout if disconnected.
