Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 didn’t make fans wait for the first two zombie maps, which launched alongside the game at the end of October. The next stop on the roadmap is Citadelle des Morts, a massive French castle in Avalon. The storyline continues with the Requiem crew after their escape from Terminus. And in the first cinematic trailer for the new map, the team runs into an old friend, Sergei Ravenov.
Most of the trailer takes place from Sergei’s perspective, and he’s genuinely surprised to see his old allies alive. But this isn’t a social call, as the team is looking for a man named Craft who “may be able to bring back Maxis.” Presumably they’re referring to Samantha Maxis, an adversary-turned-ally before her untimely demise when she sacrificed herself to seal the Dark Aether portal.
Sergei seems to be intrigued by Maya Aguinaldo, the team’s new addition. However, he’s less than thrilled to see that they’re working with William Peck. The team’s goals may align with Peck’s for now, but he’s almost certainly going to betray them at some point, even if he did arrange their escape from Terminus.
The Citadelle des Morts map will launch on December 5, and the main story quest will go live simultaneously. Treyarch previously shared details about the new perks and the classic zombie features that will be included in this map. The Zombies campaign is just a small part of the ongoing Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 1 roadmap, as Activision and Treyarch plan to keep players engaged for as long as possible.
