Black Ops 6 has been dropping hints and Easter eggs regarding an upcoming map. However, many may not realize that perhaps the upcoming map has been hidden in plain sight this entire time. The game was released on October 24, 2024, and came with a new 6v6 map called Lowtown. Notably, Lowtown is in the principality of Avalon, the next potential Warzone map in Black Ops 6.
We elaborate further on Avalon, the many hints given in the game, and how players can explore the map.

Black Ops 6 reportedly hides Avalon in plain sight ahead of release for Warzone
Avalon has been named in the game before. In fact, on Terminus Island, upon finishing the main Black Ops 6 Zombies storyline, players learn that the potential antagonist may be headed to Avalon to collect some artifacts.
The Protocol map is also in the isolated waters of Avalon. Finally, if you go to Lowtown in Black Ops 6 and explore the map as a spectator, you can spot the large expanse of Avalon. Buildings, roads, bridges, and many other structures are visible on this massive Battle Royale map. The developers have seemingly hidden the map on the plain site as an extension of Lowtown.
However, these structures aren't properly rendered in the game. For instance, if you compare the rendering of areas in Lowtown with the areas in Avalon, you'll see a marked difference. This indicates the developers have been working on the upcoming Warzone map in secrecy without fully giving it away.
However, by the looks of it, it would still take time for the map to finally become a reality. Moreover, Verdansk might return in Warzone post the release of BO6. This was confirmed on August 28, 2024, at the Call of Duty Next Event. It is expected to return in the game in Spring 2025.
However, the important question is, will we see the arrival of Avalon before Verdansk is re-released into the game? It seems clear that the new map has already been placed into the game and referenced in several easter eggs.
