With Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 1 now only one week away, Treyarch has taken the time to reveal a roadmap featuring the weapons, maps, and modes players can look forward to.
The team behind this year’s first-person shooter hit detailed their plans in a lengthy post on the Call of Duty website.
