Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Gets Nuketown This Week as Activision Reveals Season 1 Plans
Nuketown comes to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on November 1 ahead of Season 1 arriving on November 14, Activision has revealed.
A Call of Duty blog post outlined the wealth of updates planned over the next few weeks, beginning with the release of fan favorite multiplayer map Nuketown. This map is a recreation of the original Nuketown from the first Black Ops, meaning players can enjoy its 1950s motif and unabridged chaos.
"This remaster remains extremely faithful to the original design and layout of the map, even down to the precise placement of parked vehicles and other scenery harking back to the original three-lane design," Activision said.
Two weeks later and the publisher promises a "massive content drop" in the form of Season 1. Little was said about the impending update but it will arrive for free in both Black Ops 6 and Warzone and add new maps, modes, and more.
"At the start of Season 1, deploy to the new Area 99 Resurgence map in the free to play Call of Duty: Warzone update," Activision said.
"Also set in the Nevada desert, this top secret government site is just miles away from the original Nuketown location. See where it all began by exploring the mannequin assembly plant, the factory warehouse including pieces of the Nuketown homes in development, and much more, when Season 1 launches."
Black Ops 6 is off to a strong start, outperforming both Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 on Steam in its opening weekend. Its launch is also special as it marks the first Call of Duty game to come to Xbox Game Pass on launch day. Analysts expected its release could boost the subscription service by up to four million new users, but at the cost of six million lost sales.
