Summary

  • Activision confirms that a "fan-favorite" party mode will be coming to Black Ops 6 during Season 1.
  • Fans are speculating that the teased mode will likely be Prop Hunt, a popular party mode in the Black Ops series.
  • Infected mode will also be added to Black Ops 6 approximately one week after the game's launch.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 developer Treyarch Studios has teased a "fan-favorite" mode will be returning with the game's first season, which is expected to arrive later this year. The studio has also confirmed that Infected, another fan-favorite mode that has been in the majority of recent Call of Duty titles, will be added to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 approximately one week after the game launches on October 25.

With the release of Black Ops 6 fast approaching, publisher Activision and developer Treyarch Studios are sharing even more details on the highly-anticipated shooter. While fans had the opportunity to go hands-on with Black Ops 6 earlier this year during its two beta weekends, Treyarch has confirmed a handful of new changes and improvements will be made by launch. The most notable of these changes will come to the game's Zombies mode, as the studio intends to address fans' concerns with the overall feel of its Liberty Falls map, as well as some new HUD changes for the mode.

Shortly after confirming that Nuketown would be returning for Black Ops 6 on November 1, Activision also revealed during the latest episode of the official Call of Duty podcast that a "fan favorite" party mode will be returning in the game's first season. When asked by a fan for more details on Black Ops 6's party modes, Activision's senior director of studio communications, Stephanie Snowden, said, "There is a fan-favorite coming in Season 1." To which her co-host, Miles Ross, simply responded by saying, "You bet there is." While there's no official word on what the mode could be, fans are speculating that it will more than likely be Prop Hunt.

Black Ops 6 Teases Fan Favorite Mode For Season 1

There's still no confirmation on when the first seasonal content update for Black Ops 6 will arrive, but Treyarch and Activision have already confirmed some big details about new content coming to the game post-launch. While there's heavy speculation that Prop Hunt is the fan-favorite mode returning in Season 1, fans have been informed that Infected will be returning just one week after the game's launch as Treyarch looks to continue the spooky-themed content currently ongoing in Modern Warfare 3. Fans can also expect to see Nuketown, a popular multiplayer map that has been a staple of the Black Ops series since the original game, return on November 1.

Black Ops 6 will be released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on October 25, with some major changes set to drastically mix up the Call of Duty franchise. Alongside a whole host of new maps, weapons, modes, and more, Black Ops 6 will introduce a new omnidirectional movement system, allowing players to jump, dive, and sprint in any direction they choose. The game's new movement system will also be implemented into the series' hit Battle Royale game, Call of Duty: Warzone, marking the beginning of a new era in the series.

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.
