Summary

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will launch with 16 multiplayer maps in Quick Play, Moshpit, and other playlists.
  • Additionally, four Strike maps will be playable in 2v2 and 6v6 game modes.
  • More maps and modes will be added to Black Ops 6 during the preseason and Season 1.

Ahead of the game's launch, Activision and Treyarch have revealed every multiplayer map and mode that will be available in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on October 25. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will include a whole host of new maps at launch, along with a variety of returning fan-favorite modes like Gunfight and Kill Confirmed.

This past August and September, Call of Duty fans around the world were able to get a preview of what's to come in Black Ops 6 with the early access beta and open beta. Only eight maps were featured in the Black Ops 6 beta, and players also had limited access to the game's arsenal of weapons and gear, including a few Wildcards. As the launch of Black Ops 6 draws near, the developers have revealed all the maps and modes that players can expect in multiplayer on day one.

At launch, Black Ops 6 will have 16 multiplayer maps available in Quick Play, Moshpit, and other playlists. The Babylon, Derelict, Lowtown, Payback, Protocol, Redcard, Rewind, Scud, Skyline, Subsonic, Vault, and Vorkuta maps are designed for 6v6 playlist modes, and Nuketown will be available one week after Black Ops 6' s launch on November 1. Four Strike maps will be available at launch as well, including Gala, Pit, Stakeout, and Warhead. These four Strike maps will be playable in 2v2 and 6v6 game modes, with each map emphasizing close-range gunfights due to the very small map size. According to Call of Duty' s latest blog post, detailed map information and additional intel will be revealed on October 23, just a few days before the game's launch.

If Ground War were to return at a later date, it would likely feature all-new maps.

Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.

The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.

In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.

Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
