Summary
- Leak suggests Nuketown will receive a 24/7 playlist in Black Ops 6.
- Treyarch has confirmed that the popular map will arrive on November 1.
- Nuketown 24/7 playlist rumored to feature Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, Hardpoint, and Kill Order.
A Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 data miner has uncovered in-game files that suggest the recently released shooter will soon see Nuketown receive its very own 24/7 playlist. While Nuketown has yet to be added to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, developer Treyarch Studios has already confirmed the popular multiplayer map will be releasing on November 1, meaning the chances of a 24/7 playlist are incredibly likely.
Ever since the days of the original Black Ops, Nuketown has been a fan-favorite map in the Call of Duty community. This small, fast-paced multiplayer map is set inside a nuclear testing ground that is themed around a 1950s United States suburb. When it comes to the best maps in Call of Duty history, Nuketown is often mentioned among others, such as Shipment, Terminal, Hijacked, and more. And while Black Ops 6 might be lacking in the iconic map department, Treyarch has confirmed this classic multiplayer map will be returning just one week after launch.
Nuketown 24/7 Playlist Likely Coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
There's no confirmed release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 1 just yet, but fans won't need to wait much longer for new content as Nuketown is set to return on November 1. Now, according to a leak from data miner SemtexLeaks, it looks like there's a possibility that the map will be returning alongside a dedicated 24/7 playlist. In a new tweet, the leaker claims to have discovered data stating that a playlist featuring nothing but Nuketown will be released sometime in the future, with modes such as Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, Hardpoint, and Kill Order all set to be included in the playlist's rotation, along with a dedicated hardcore variant of the 24/7 playlist.
Call of Duty's 24/7 playlists have been fan favorites for maps like Terminal, Shipment, Rust, Nuketown, and more in the past, allowing users to play their favorite maps non-stop. Last year's Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 3, saw Shipment and Shoot House receive 24/7 playlists on a regular basis, with Shipment also receiving numerous variants thrown into the mix to keep things fresh and exciting. It's unclear whether or not Black Ops 6 will go down the map variant path as heavily as Modern Warfare 3 did, but the shooter did launch with a Nuketown alternative known as Warhead, which is set in the remnants of a Nuketown test site.
While Black Ops 6 is receiving rave reviews from critics and players, a common critique from the community has been that the game's multiplayer maps are rather disappointing. Although it's no surprise for a Call of Duty game, fans have been expressing their disappointment with the messy spawns and poor map design. Thankfully, Treyarch has already stated it will be bringing back iconic Black Ops maps with the game's seasonal content updates, which should expand the map pool with a much greater variety.

WHERE TO PLAY
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.
