Treyarch is celebrating 115 Day with a thrilling mystery box of announcements for *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies*, including the exciting reveal of a new map, The Tomb. This January 15 celebration is a special holiday for *Call of Duty* players, marked by a comprehensive blog breakdown of upcoming zombie-themed surprises. The highlight of today's announcements is the introduction of The Tomb, a sandy new Zombies map set to debut with the launch of Season 2 on January 28. This means fans will have another thrilling addition to the Zombies universe just two weeks after Season 1's Citadelle des Morts.
Following the harrowing events at Citadelle des Morts, characters Weaver, Grey, Carver, and Maya heed Gabriel Krafft's final words, leading them to a nearby excavation site to retrieve the Sentinel Artifact. Treyarch describes The Tomb as being constructed on ancient burial grounds, with origins possibly dating back to 2500 B.C.E. These catacombs, untouched for centuries until the early 1900s, hold secrets that may delve deeper than anyone ever thought possible.
The team has hinted at The Tomb's mysterious connection to a British archeologist, Sir Archibald Fotherington-Smythe, though details on its integration into the broader Zombies narrative remain scarce. In terms of gameplay, The Tomb promises an experience akin to Liberty Falls, featuring compact play spaces and a focus on replayability, encouraging players to uncover numerous Easter eggs.
Treyarch teases a reimagined Wonder Weapon with historical inspiration and the return of a beloved SMG, though specifics are yet to be revealed. Season 2 will also bring a suite of quality-of-life improvements, including the ability to track up to 10 Calling Card and 10 Camo challenges in both Zombies and Multiplayer. Zombies mode will introduce a co-op pause feature, allowing the party leader to pause matches, and separate HUD presets for Zombies and Multiplayer. Additionally, players will be able to rejoin Zombies matches with their loadout if disconnected.
