Activision has kept its word and after the first presentation of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies, it has now released deeper gameplay insights and an overview of the new features.
Activision has already commented on the story of Black Ops 6 Zombies. In short: After more than five years of imprisonment, the former members of Requiem are planning a daring escape. They are supported by the unexpected arrival of a mysterious Filipino smuggler and a former enemy. Unfortunately, their attempt to escape from Terminus Island coincides with another chaotic dimensional outbreak. That’s the story of Black Ops 6 Zombies in a nutshell.
What is now certain is that two maps will be included for now, namely Terminus Island and Liberty Falls, where four players have to solve various tasks while the undead hordes are after your life. You can explore the maps freely and even the smaller islands can be reached by raft. Essence, which you gain by killing enemies, serves as currency for weapons or ammunition, but also for perks and to get around obstacles. Scrap can also be found and is used as raw material for crafting equipment.
The maps are supposed to be more challenging than before, but there is also a new guided mode that is supposed to help beginners work their way through the story. However, this will only be available after the game’s launch so that hardcore players and veterans can have fun without a guide beforehand.
Solo players will be happy to be able to pause their runs in the future, meaning you can save your progress and continue playing later. In addition, it is now possible to join a game in progress during co-op matches. This means you can swap players without having to restart.
These are actually just some of the features and options, further insights can be found in a long Blog post on the official website. Activision has also released a new gameplay trailer:
