Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs Black Ops 6 zombies players are getting a good start to the year, as developer Treyarch on Wednesday revealed that a new zombies map, The Tomb, will launch at the beginning of the game’s second season on Tuesday, Jan. 28.We already knew a new map was going to be revealed for 115 Day, Call of Duty’s annual zombie celebration, but nobody expected such an early release date. Black Ops 6 is about to launch four zombies maps in four months, an unprecedented release schedule for the shooter franchise.In addition to information about the new map, Treyarch pulled the curtains back on how well its zombie Directed Mode is working and shared details about quality-of-life improvements that’ll be folded into the season 2 launch.Here’s everything we know so far about the next content drop on Jan. 28.What we know about the next Black Ops 6 zombies map Black Ops 6 players got their first look at some shots from within The Tomb’s catacombs today. ActivisionPicking up after the events of Citadelle des Morts, The Tomb will have Weaver, Maya, Carver and Grey plunge into the heart of an ancient catacomb to rediscover a powerful artifact capable of helping them deal with the undead threat.The new map has been built from the ground up for zombies. It’s not reusing any locations from the campaign or Warzone modes.The Tomb will be smaller than maps like Terminus and Citadelle des Morts, forcing engagements in tighter play areas. Treyarch cited Liberty Falls as a key contributor to the design philosophy for the new map, explaining that the Black Ops 6 launch map was the most replayed zombies experience in recent years.Fan-favorite weapons will return, including an old Black Ops SMG and a “reimagined Wonder Weapon inspired by [Treyarch’s] past.” While there’s no word yet on what these weapons will be, the Wunderwaffe DG-2 lightning gun featured prominently in the Liberty Falls intro cutscene and has not yet appeared on a Black Ops 6 zombies map.In addition to the main Easter egg, The Tomb will have a strong focus on side Easter eggs — like the Liberty Falls bowling alley minigame and bank vault. More info about the new map will be unveiled in next week’s season 2 blog.Black Ops 6 season 2 quality-of-life improvements revealedIt looks like the beginning of season 2 will largely focus on improving the Black Ops 6 zombies experience, but that doesn’t mean the multiplayer mode is being left high and dry. There are four key changes being made to players’ quality-of-life at the beginning of season 2.Multiplayer and Zombies mode challenge tracking: Players will now be able to separately track challenges for multiplayer and zombies. In addition, players can now pin 10 challenges for each mode at any given time — if no challenges are manually pinned, Black Ops 6 will show players the challenges they are closest to completing.Separate HUDs for multiplayer and zombies modes: Players who want to use different heads-up display layouts for the different modes will now be able to do so without toggling each and every option whenever they swap between multiplayer and zombies.Co-op pause: If everyone in a lobby is grouped in a single co-op party, pausing in zombies mode will function like it does in a solo session. Crucially, this feature will not work if you aren’t in a party with every player in your co-op game.AFK kick loadout recovery: If you’re kicked from a zombies game for AFKing for too long, you are now able to rejoin the lobby and recover your weapons, equipment, score streaks and perks.Black Ops 6 zombies Directed Mode is working as planned Directed Mode makes the main Easter eggs much easier, giving players ample time to build up their loadout of Pack-a-Punched weapons, perks, armor and more. ActivisionThe final insight we received for 115 Day focuses on the new zombies mode introduced in Black Ops 6: Directed Mode.Treyarch created this mode to increase community participation in the zombies maps’ main Easter eggs — round caps and guided objectives make the challenges much easier for new and casual players to finish.Now, the developer has revealed that Directed Mode is working the way it intended. Whereas 3.38% of Call of Duty zombies players completed the main Easter egg on maps before the guided mode was introduced, that number has more than doubled with 8.23% of players completing the Black Ops 6 maps’ main Easter eggs.Treyarch intends to continue looking for ways to make its zombies storyline more easily accessible to all players, but is optimistic about the results so far.Maybe more players will be able to beat the Black Ops 6 zombies maps by 115 Day in 2026.
