Black Ops 6 Zombies Season 2 Plans Include a New Tomb Map and More Quality-of-Life Changes

ign.com:

Treyarch is celebrating 115 Day with a mystery box full of announcements for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies, including the reveal of a new map called The Tomb.

This January 15 celebration serves as a particularly special holiday for Call of Duty players, as it comes with a full blog breakdown of every zombie-themed surprise players can look forward to in the near future. Headlining today’s announcements is the reveal of The Tomb, a sandy new Zombies map that will make its debut with the arrival of Season 2 come January 28. That means another addition to the Zombies universe following Season 1’s Citadelle des Morts is less than two weeks away.

“After surviving the horrific events at Citadelle des Morts, Weaver, Grey, Carver, and Maya follow Gabriel Krafft’s final words to a nearby excavation site to secure the Sentinel Artifact,” a story summary from Treyarch said. “Built on the remains of ancient burial grounds with suspected origins dating back to 2500 B.C.E., these catacombs went undisturbed for centuries until the early 1900s... and what lies beneath may run deeper than anyone ever imagined.”

The team described The Tomb as a mysterious area with ties to a British archeologist named Sir Archibald Fotherington-Smythe but shared little else in terms of how it might connect to the larger Zombies story.

In terms of gameplay, this new location is said to “provide an experience similar to Liberty Falls,” the bright, small-town map that launched with Black Ops 6 in October. Treyarch said this means “tighter play spaces with a focus on replayability” as players discover the many Easter eggs The Tomb hides.

Treyarch also teases a reimagined Wonder Weapon “inspired by our past” and the return of an iconic SMG, though additional details remain a mystery.

Also promised for Season 2 is a solid list of quality-of-life improvements, including a few new features that the community has begged for since launch. For example, players will be able to track up to 10 Calling Card
