When does The Tomb release in Black Ops 6 Zombies?

The Tomb will arrive in Black Ops 6 Zombies with the Season 2 update, which is set to release on January 28, 2025. Developers have revealed that the map will provide players with an experience akin to Liberty Falls. It will feature mostly close-range encounters in tight spaces, where quick decision making skills will determine the outcome of every round.

Just like Liberty Falls, the primary goal here is replayability. This is done to ensure that players can enjoy the round-based modes to their heart's content. Needless to say, fans are excited and are anticipating its release.

The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies: Release date, map lore, and more

The Tomb in Black Ops 6 Zombies will be the fourth map to join the mode and is currently scheduled for release on January 28, 2025. As mentioned earlier, it will be smaller in scale and aims to replicate the Liberty Falls experience but in a completely different environment. Liberty Falls is based on a modern-day city but that won't be the case for the upcoming map. It will take players to an excavation site near Citadelle des Morts.

The lore states that The Tomb used to be an ancient burial ground, which dates back to 2500 B.C.E and remained undisturbed for ages. However, in 1908 a British archaeologist named Sir Archibald Fotherington started excavating the ancient site with hopes of finding great treasure.

But soon after the excavation began on the site, he disappeared and no one knew what became of him. Except for a few photographs from the site, no one knows what happened to the entire project.

Coming to the present day, the narrative picks up from where Citadelles des Morts' main quest ends. The crew, which includes Weaver, Grey, Carver, and Maya, head over to The Tomb following Gabriel Krafft’s final words to secure an artifact, that is called the "Sentinel Artifact".

As for the gameplay flow, we have already discussed that will be similar to the map Liberty Falls. But that's not all. They have also revealed that the map will have a lot of Easter Eggs for players to explore and complete. These include one main quest and several side Easter Eggs.

Hence, we can speculate that the map will introduce new enemy types and bosses for players to take on. Moreover, it won't be a Call of Duty map without complicated puzzles for players to solve.

As for Wonder Weapons, we are certain that the map will feature a new one for all players to take down hordes of Zombies with. The developers revealed in the COD blog that a "reimagined version" of a Wonder Weapon from the past will be making its way to the map. They didn't reveal the name of the new weapon or which one of them was getting the new variant.

However, we do know of one weapon that all players will be able to take with them when they explore the excavation site, and it is the PPSh-41 SMG, which will be in the game starting Season 2.
