Releasing on October 25, 2024, Black Ops 6 seeks to revitalize not just the iconic Black Ops series but the Call of Duty brand as a whole, bringing back several fan-favorite features and modes. This includes the return of Call of Duty's theater mode, a popular feature that allows players to watch, record, and edit replays of matches. Multiple changes to Zombies have also been made, with Treyarch recently showing off the game's new HUD options.

All Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 campaign cutscenes have already leaked online two and a half months ahead of the game's release.
As part of the many changes being made to Zombies in Black Ops 6, the game will feature the most robust and customizable HUD the franchise has seen yet, with Treyarch sharing details in a new blog post. The team says there are "far too many options to discuss," but it shared highlights that are sure to excite longtime fans. Players will have the ability to choose from a variety of HUD presets in Black Ops 6, and will be able to turn off the health bar and zombie hit point damage, providing a cleaner experience. Players will also be able to select custom color palettes. One of the most surprising changes includes the ability to turn off Pack-a-Punch weapon camos.
Treyarch Reveals Legacy HUD Option For Black Ops 6 Zombies
One of the HUD options is a "Legacy" preset that removes the minimap and position elements from the HUD. In the example given by Treyarch, players' perks are moved slightly to the left, the map is removed, and round numbers are presented with the iconic tally marks on the bottom left. Weapon and equipment information is also more streamlined when selecting the Legacy option. These changes are intended to evoke a similar appearance to that of Black Ops 3's Zombies mode.
Featuring a wide range of unique maps, Black Ops 3 brought Zombies mode into both entirely new and existing territories. After Black Ops 3's DLC cycle, the game introduced a major new piece of bonus content called Zombies Chronicles. This package included remasters of several fan-favorite maps seen throughout World at War and the Black Ops series. Nostalgia will be utilized in multiple ways throughout Black Ops 6, with Liberty Falls, one of the game's two new Zombies experiences coming at launch, rumored to be inspired by the ill-fated Tranzit map from Black Ops 2. While not confirmed, it's theorized that Liberty Falls will feature areas seen in Black Ops 2, with the first Black Ops 6 Zombies trailer ending with a brief glimpse of the Jet Gun, a Wonder Weapon featured in Tranzit.

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.
