Activision and Treyarch have released the gameplay reveal trailer for Black Ops 6 Zombies game mode and the Terminus map, and it totally has a lot of zombie fighting in it. Also a speed boat, intriguingly… A reveal for the Liberty Falls map will come on 28th August during Call of Duty: Next.

If there’s one thing that Activision wants you to know about this game mode, it’s that it’s “round-based”, just like all the zombies modes were before last year’s Modern Warfare 3 made it all open world. This was not a particularly popular move, and so Activision is backtracking almost as fast as when the backlash to COD: Infinite Warfare made “boots on the ground” the only thing they would ever say about Call of Duty: WWII.

As featured in the cinematic reveal Terminus map is set in the Philippine Sea at a remote US naval base turned CIA outpost turned subterranean laboratory. As the Requiem crew are broken out of their confinement, they discover the bio-research in progress for Project Janus, and have to start busting it up.

Treyarch say that you’ll want to pick Grigori Weaver, Elizabeth Grey, Mackenzie ‘Mac’ Carver, and Maya Aguinaldo as player characters to get the richest story experience while playing this.

Getting back to the round-based format will have pretty much all of the zombies mode staples returning as well. There’s a main quest to follow and puzzle your way through across multiple attempts and explorations, but then there’s also plenty of side-content to discover as well with a whole host of easter eggs. It all builds up to (if you survive) a point where you need to extract.

For your character build, both pre-match and with a mid-game progression, there’s the returning systems of perks, weapons and loadouts, field upgrade abilities, and then series staples of perk-a-colas, pack-a-punch, ammo mods and more.

You’ll want to use everything you’ve got to blast away at the new upside-down head spiders called Vermin, flying Parasites, the newly armoured Manglers and the full
