Zombies Update: Citadelle des Morts
The standout addition to Black Ops 6 is the all-new Zombies map, Citadelle des Morts. This medieval castle in the European principality of Avalon has a dark history that’s about to get even darker. Once a symbol of terror under the infamous knight Guy de Saint Michel, the Citadel now serves as a stronghold for the French Syndicate—a criminal faction deeply entangled with Project Janus.
The storyline continues with Weaver, Maya, Carver, and Grey embarking on a daring mission to Avalon. Joined by allies such as Peck, Raptor One, and Strauss, the Operators seek to uncover the secrets of the Sentinel Artifact—an ancient relic believed to hold the power to save Samantha Maxis from her mysterious imprisonment.
Highlights of Citadelle des Morts:
- Explore a haunting medieval fortress filled with Syndicate forces and undead threats.
- Uncover lore-rich secrets tied to Avalon’s dark past and the Sentinel Artifact.
- Engage in intense combat scenarios blending traditional Zombies mechanics with new challenges.
Black Ops 6 Campaign Continuation: Goodbye, Luttazzis
The mid-season update also pushes the campaign narrative forward. The French Syndicate, led by Sevati “Sev” Dumas and rogue Black Ops Operators, intensifies its battle against the Luttazzi Crime Family in Avalon. Success here could turn the tide against their next target: Pantheon.
This chapter combines high-stakes missions with intrigue, further immersing players in Black Ops 6’s gripping storyline.
Warzone Integration: A Seamless Experience
With Season 01 Reloaded, Warzone fully integrates the content and themes of Black Ops 6. Players can look forward to:
- A new Resurgence map, designed for fast-paced gameplay.
