Activision sure is dragging out its reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode. But if you’re sucker for the undead stuff, there’s more where last week’s trailer and gameplay reveal came from, with developer Treyarch having now offered a tour of Zombies’ Terminus map.
Terminus Island is one of two maps that’ll be available at launch (the other being the West Virginian town of Liberty Falls), and Treyarch calls it “one of the largest round-based Zombies maps ever created”. Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode takes place in the early 90s – five years after the events of Black Ops Cold War’s Zombies mode – and Terminus Island serves as a prison for some familiar Requiem faces. After their liberation early at the start of the story, players can explore the prison itself before moving out to investigate its tropical island surroundings.
There’s a secret research facility specialising in “weird science” (in case you were wondering where the zombies might spring up from this time), as well as the ocean, and assorted smaller islands – all of which players will visit as part of Terminus’ main quest. It’s described as a “living world” full of scripted encounters, ranging from zombies smashing out of vats and prison guards still trying to control the undead threat, to less fortunate souls being chomped on.
