Call of Duty: Black Ops 6has delivered the return to form thatCall of Duty’s Zombies mode so desperately needed. Liberty Falls offers the perfect entry point for newcomers to the round-based Zombies formula while still offering plenty of replayability, Terminus offers seasoned Zombies fans a more traditional challenge, and Citadelle des Morts makes great use of its medieval/fantasy theming. ButCall of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode is far from done.
To celebrate 115 Day (an annual celebration ofCall of Duty Zombiesheld on January 15), Treyarch revealed a wealth of new information aboutCall of Duty: Black Ops 6’s upcoming Zombies content. By far the biggest reveal was the confirmation that a new map, named “The Tomb,” will be launching alongsideCall of Duty: Black Ops 6Season 2on January 28. There’s still a lot that fans don’t know about the new Zombies map, but the handful of official promo images might remind some fans of a recently released game that’s also available on Xbox Game Pass.
The Next Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies Map Has Perfect Timing
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Tomb Map Hearkens Back to Classic Adventure Movies
Set to arrive just less than two months after Citadelle des Morts' release,Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s “The Tomb” mapwill see players take control of Weaver, Carver, Maya, and Grey once more as they take on hordes of the undead. This time, the crew’s quest takes them to a mysterious excavation site with a storied history.
According to Treyarch’s 115 Day blog post, “The Tomb” was the site of an ancient burial ground from 2500 B.C.E., and was originally excavated in the early 1900s by the British archaeologist, Sir Archibald Fotherington-Smythe. But this expedition didn’t quite go to plan. For some unknown reason, Fotherington-Smythe and his team all disappeared inside the catacombs they were exploring.
Based on this brief description alone, it’s clear that Treyarch has been heavilyinspired by classic adventure movieswhile making The Tomb, and those inspirations only become more apparent when looking at the map’s first official images.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s The Tomb will “provide an experience similar to Liberty Falls,” according to Treyarch’s 115 Day blog post, “featuring tighter play spaces with a focus on replayability.”
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Tomb Map Bears a Striking Resemblance to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Put simply,Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s new Zombies map looks as though it’s been ripped right out oftheIndiana Jonesseries, more specifically, right out of the recently releasedIndiana Jones and the Great Circle. On the surface of “The Tomb,” players can expect to see sand-covered valleys, ancient sandstone pillars and walls, half-excavated treasures, and a sprawling network of metallic scaffolding and tarpaulin sheets. Below the surface, players can expect to find the unearthed remains of a long-gone civilization.
For any fans ofIndiana Jones and the Great Circlewho havegotten as far as Gizeh, these sights are probably going to look very familiar. WithIndiana Jones and the Great Circlestill being fairly fresh in the minds of those who have played it,Black Ops 6’s “The Tomb” feels perfectly timed, and both titles being available on Xbox Game Pass gives them an inherent connection.
