Treyarch Unveils "The Tomb," a New Map for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies, in 115 Day Celebration

Treyarch is marking 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 treats Call of Duty fans to a comprehensive blog post detailing upcoming zombie-themed surprises.

The star of today's announcements is The Tomb, a desert-themed Zombies map launching with Season 2 on January 28th. This marks another exciting addition to the Zombies universe, following Season 1's Citadelle des Morts, and arrives 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. This site, ancient catacombs built upon burial grounds dating back to 2500 B.C.E., remained undisturbed until the early 1900s, hinting at secrets yet to be uncovered.

The Tomb's gameplay is described as reminiscent of Liberty Falls, the smaller, more replayable map from Black Ops 6's October launch. Expect tighter environments and a wealth of hidden Easter eggs.

Season 2 also promises a revamped Wonder Weapon, drawing inspiration from previous iterations, and the return of a beloved SMG. Further details on these additions remain under wraps.

Significant quality-of-life improvements are also on the horizon, addressing long-standing community requests. These include increased tracking limits for Calling Card and Camo challenges (10 each in Zombies and Multiplayer), a co-op pause feature for Zombies (controlled by the party leader), separate HUD presets for Zombies and Multiplayer, and the ability to rejoin Zombies matches with your loadout after disconnection.

To celebrate 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 in Black Ops 6 Zombies. The team notes that the average Main Quest completion rate has more than doubled since the mode's launch, indicating its success in onboarding new players.

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