Warning: Spoilers for Citadelle des Morts
Players who thought they had escaped the clutches of “last-gen Richtofen” are in for a surprise, asCall of Duty: Black Ops 6’s newest Zombies map provides a brand-new cutscene for fans to obsess over. The new cutscene is found within Citadelle des Morts, the latest Zombies map to release forCall of Duty: Black Ops 6, a location that takes the Dark Aether storyline in exciting new directions. However, last-gen versions of the map are struggling, prompting discussion and criticism fromBlack Ops 6players and longtime Zombies fans.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6hit store shelves at the end of October and has already proved to be a big success, both in terms of its multiplayer and its main story. Fans praisedBlack Ops 6’s campaign for its intricate plot and daring missions and have continued to spend countless hours in the game’s multiplayer mode as new maps continue to appear.Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode, meanwhile, continues to be one of the most interesting aspects of the game due to the sheer level of detail found within each map. However, the same cannot be said for the last-gen version ofBlack Ops 6, with fans poking fun at the latest story cutscene online.
Reddit user ItzJohnnyChap recently shared a clip of the final cutscene for theEaster egg onBlack Ops 6’s Citadelle des Morts. While the cutscene has already been seen by millions of players, this version is unique because it’s being played on last-gen consoles (Xbox One and PlayStation 4). While lower detail and resolutions are expected, the player claims the cutscene may even “rival"Black Ops 3’s now-infamous last-gen Richthofen.

Last-gen Richtofen became a meme within theCall of Duty: Zombiescommunity following the completion ofBlack Ops 3’s Shadows of Evil Easter egg. The last-generation horrors continued in Der Eisendrache, which featured the full Primus cast in glorious low-resolution. Last-gen Richtofen became a joke not only within the community but also for Treyarch itself, with the studio placing a reference to the character inBlack Ops 4’s Classified map. Fans also correctly suspected thelast-gen shenanigans would continue inBlack Ops 6.
While the last-gen version ofBlack Ops 6’s Citadelle des Mortsisn’t totally terrible, there is certainly a lack of detail and quality, with textures popping in and out and character models lacking a lot of detail and shaders compared to the current-gen version of the game. With a new yearlyCall of Dutyrelease and with new consoles likely around the corner, the chances of Xbox One and PlayStation 4 support being dropped increase substantially. It’s clear that Xbox Series X, S, PlayStation 5, and PC are the intended ways to experienceCall of Duty: Black Ops 6. For now, however, fans can enjoy Citadelle des Morts in all of its last-gen glory.
