Summary
Longtime fans of theCall of DutyZombies mode might have spotted a teaser for new DLC inCall of Duty: Black Ops 6zombies. The Easter egg, which is visible on a newBlack Ops 6character skin, could be a reference to Zombies Chronicles, aCall of Duty: Black Ops 3DLC.
Call of Duty Zombieshas been one of the franchise’s pillars for years now, ever since its introduction inCall of Duty: World at Warback in 2008. That said, its prominence has waxed and waned as different developers took the reins of the franchise over the years. With Treyarch leading the development ofBlack Ops 6,innovative mechanics inCall of Duty Zombiesand the mode’s long-running story are back in the spotlight.
With that in mind, fans are also noticing what they think are potentially subtle hints and teases ofupcoming plans forCall of Duty: Black Ops 6Zombies. According to Reddit community member finster20071234, the latest hint could be a follow-up to theCall of Duty: Black Ops 3-era Zombies Chronicles DLC, based on a telltale detail on a new premium skin sold in the IDEAD Tracer Pack.
Call of Duty Zombies Fans Think A Weaver Skin Might Hint At Zombies Chronicles 2
According to a screenshot shared by finster20071234, the new Repairman skin dressesZombiescharacter Grigori Weaverin a closed red jumpsuit covered in sew-on patches based on classicCall of Duty Zombiesmaps, including Der Eisendrache, Shangri-La, Shi No Numa, Tranzit, Kino Der Toten, Moon, The Giant, and Buried. Given that the patches are made to resemble tourist patches that travelers will wear to show where they’ve been, the patches naturally imply that Weaver’s fought in all those places. It also happens that several of the maps referenced were once part of Zombies Chronicles, aCall of Duty: Black Ops 3Zombies map pack that remastered eight Zombies maps from the previous games, allowing players to catch up on the Zombies timeline.
Reactions from the comments were mixed, with some players concluding that it makes sense for Treyarch to celebrate one of its most popular modes by bringing back favorite maps. Others suggested that the patches are merely an Easter egg reference to the old maps, and questioned whether Treyarch would really be willing to remake so manyclassicCall of DutyZombiesmaps.Some veteran Zombies players pointed out that some of the maps referenced, like Shi No Numa, have already been reintroduced multiple times across several games. Treyarch bringing them back yet again as a premium DLC could rub customers the wrong way and prompt accusations of “recycling” content.
Whether the Weaver outfit is merely an Easter egg or a hint at future plans, the discussion does reflect how long Zombies has been around as a part of the overallCall of Dutyfranchise. Treyarch clearly has plans for the mode, whether they involve reviving beloved content or exploring new frontiers in zombie-fighting.
