Treyarch has good news in store for Zombies fans eagerly awaiting the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 later this month. Releasing on October 25, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 promises an enticing new single-player story campaign set in the early 90s centered around the Gulf War. Multiplayer fans are looking forward to 16 original 6v6 maps at launch, and many Call of Duty Zombies players are thrilled about the return of round-based Zombies.
It’s been four years since Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the latest game in the blockbuster shooter franchise to feature the series’ beloved round-based Zombies format. Subsequent entries attempted to shake up the Zombies experience, with 2021’s Call of Duty: Vanguard disappointing many fans with its roguelike-inspired spin on the mode. Last year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 introduced the first ever open-world Call of Duty Zombies experience in MWZ, which was largely molded by Call of Duty: Warzone. With Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Zombies fans are excited to jump back into classic round-based Zombies once more, and Treyarch has already shown off both of the mode’s launch maps, Terminus and Liberty Falls.

Black Ops 6 Adding One of the Franchise’s Most Popular Maps on November 1
In a surprising announcement, Activision reveals that one of the most popular maps in the history of Call of Duty will be released in Black Ops 6.
On the latest episode of Call of Duty‘s COD POD podcast, Treyarch mentioned several pieces of news Zombies fans are sure to be excited about. Firstly, the team confirmed that Call of Duty‘s famous musician Kevin Sherwood will be involved in Black Ops 6‘s soundtrack. More specifically, he’ll be composing the songs for both of the Zombies maps’ Easter eggs. Additionally, Treyarch confirmed that Black Ops 6 Zombies will be home to more in-game events than prior Call of Duty Zombies experiences as the seasons roll on. Lastly, a third round-based Zombies map will be joining Terminus and Liberty Falls in Black Ops 6 before the end of 2024.
Treyarch Confirms More Black Ops 6 Zombies Details
- Kevin Sherwood is composing two Easter egg songs
- Black Ops 6 Zombies will host more in-game events than previous games
- A third Zombies map will be added before the end of 2024
It’ll be interesting to find out what form these in-game events will take in Black Ops 6‘s round-based Zombies maps, as Modern Warfare 3‘s MWZ seemed better suited for such events given its open-world design, and round-based Zombies maps are typically much smaller. As for the third Zombies map, it’ll likely come as part of Black Ops 6 Season 1, which is expected to begin in mid-November or early December based on prior Call of Duty cycles. This could mean an all-new Zombies map may be added to Black Ops 6 with each new season, though Treyarch could take an every-other-season approach. Nothing else is known about Season 1, but details should begin to emerge soon after Black Ops 6‘s launch.
With the return of round-based Zombies, Kevin Sherwood-composed Easter egg songs, more in-game events and a third map confirmed to come before the new year, there’s a ton in store for fans of Call of Duty Zombies in Black Ops 6. As the game nears its October 25 launch, fans should keep an eye on Treyarch for any more exciting news about Black Ops 6‘s campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies modes.
