The recent Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct on June 9th gave early details on what's to come in the campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies mode. Zombies unfortunately got the least attention, with only one short segment and a few brief gameplay clips shown off, but there's still a lot of exciting information in what little was shown off.
The more experimental open-map Zombies mode from Modern Warfare 3 is gone, perhaps to the chagrin of fans but certainly to the delight of many classic Zombies fans. Black Ops 6 is bringing back the Dark Aether storyline and will launch with two maps, a triumphant return in content after Black Ops: Cold War launched with only the Die Maschine map.
The new Zombies mode also makes use of all the mechanical features announced for Black Ops 6, like omnidirectional movement and the customizable HUD. Kevin Drew, Treyarch's associate director of design and spokesperson for the Zombies section of Direct, was also brazenly sitting next to a jar of gum as he spoke, confirming the earlier leak about Gobblegum's return.
