With less than a week until season two’s launch, Call of Duty’s trailer for the new content dropping in Black Ops 6 has unveiled several new additions for players to be excited for.
Five multiplayer maps are set to join the fray in season two, with three at launch on Jan. 28 and two more to follow mid-season, including a remake of a fan-favorite Black Ops 2 DLC map set in a colorful skate park.
Bounty, Dealership, and Lifeline are the names of the three new launch maps, while Bullet, and the aforementioned Grind will be coming in the Season Two Reloaded update, which is likely to come some time in February.
At first glance, Lifeline looks similar to BO2 map Hijacked, but it is something new entirely set on a similar yacht. Hijacked may indeed still be coming in a future seasonal update, as it was found mentioned within game files several months ago.
The classic party mode Gun Game is also set to return, much to the delight of fans. In the mode, players all start with the same weapon and get a new weapon upon each kill, up until all of the weapons have been used and a winner has been crowned.
For Zombies fans, the hype is high once more for the new round-based map, The Tomb. In a short gameplay snippet shown within the launch trailer for season two, the return of the awesome Staff of Ice from BO2 Zombies map Origins has been confirmed, equipping players with a mystical weapon capable of freezing and destroying zombie hordes.
The familiar locale of The Tomb along with the Staff of Ice’s return seems to be hinting at the Zombies story coming full circle back towards Origins, which first launched in the Apocalypse DLC for BO2 way back in 2013. It’s still considered one of the best Zombies experiences to this day.
This is a breaking news story. It’s currently being written in real time.
