Treyarch is gearing up to celebrate 115 Day with an exciting mystery box filled with announcements for *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies*, headlined by the reveal of a new map named **The Tomb**. This January 15 celebration is a significant event for fans, featuring a comprehensive blog detailing all the zombie-themed surprises on the horizon. The spotlight shines on **The Tomb**, a sandy new Zombies map set to launch with Season 2 on January 28, just a couple of weeks after the introduction of Season 1's Citadelle des Morts.
According to Treyarch, the storyline follows the characters Weaver, Grey, Carver, and Maya as they heed Gabriel Krafft's last words to an excavation site to secure the Sentinel Artifact. The map is built on the remnants of ancient burial grounds, dating back to 2500 B.C.E., which remained untouched until the early 1900s. The Tomb is shrouded in mystery, with connections to a British archeologist, Sir Archibald Fotherington-Smythe, though its broader ties to the Zombies narrative remain undisclosed.
In terms of gameplay, The Tomb promises an experience akin to Liberty Falls, with compact spaces designed to enhance replayability and filled with Easter eggs for players to discover. Treyarch also hints at a reimagined Wonder Weapon inspired by past iterations and the return of a beloved SMG, though specifics are still under wraps.
Season 2 is set to bring a host of quality-of-life improvements, responding to community feedback. Players will now be able to track up to 10 Calling Card and 10 Camo challenges in both Zombies and Multiplayer modes. Additionally, Zombies will introduce a co-op pause feature, enabling the party leader to pause during a match. HUD presets will be separated for Zombies and Multiplayer, and players can rejoin Zombies matches with their loadout if disconnected.
