Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 returns the series to Treyarch, the developer who started the popular Zombies mode with 2008’s Call of Duty: World War II. So there’s a lot more interest in what the OG Zombies developers have in mind for this year’s game. Tuesday, they gave a peek inside what the narrative will be when the next game arrives Oct. 25.
The Terminus team comprises four political prisoners who have been held and tortured at a real plum vacation spot in the Philippines, taking their name from the island. The team is drawn from the Requiem team in Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War’s Zombies mode. Grigori Weaver is the only one who didn’t make his debut in Black Ops Cold War.
They’ve been held in this Soviet-bloc hellhole for five years, and just when they get busted out of the slammer, (by Dr. William Peck and a new character, Maya Aguinaldo) things get super weird as they always do in Zombies. There’s gotta be a transdimensional portal bringing the undead to the area of operations, after all.
What else is in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode?
A blog post also mentions a town in West Virginia named Liberty Falls, so this hellhole prison they’re in won’t be the only source of maps for Terminus team. It can’t all be close-quarters with shotguns and melee, you know.
A lot of it seems so cliché — how many eyepatches can one team have — but that’s only if you haven’t played Zombies. It’s somewhat like pro wrestling, in which being over-the-top and completely self unaware is the whole point.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will share a lot more about its Zombies mode — “everything you need to know,” so one assumes it’s not limited to just the story and characters.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will stage two multiplayer beta weekends, one beginning for pre-orderers on Friday, Aug. 30, and the second a totally open beta on all platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
