Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is bringing back the classic round-based Zombies mode made by Treyarch. This time, players can choose from four-story characters, which is the first time this has happened since 2018.
The story from Black Ops Cold War, known as the Dark Aether storyline, will keep going in Black Ops 6. When the game comes out, it will have two maps and four-story characters to play as. Three of these characters will be familiar to fans of the Zombies mode.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Will Be Available on Game Pass
Black Ops 6’s Zombies story brings back Elizabeth Grey, Grigori Weaver, and Mac Carver from Black Ops Cold War’s Requiem team. A new character, Maya Aguinaldo, joins them to make a team of four.
In Black Ops Cold War, many players felt disconnected because they had to play as random operator skins instead of unique story characters with their voices. This led to strange moments, like when a player could escape a match as a Samantha Maxis skin, even though Samantha sacrificed herself in the story’s final mission to stop the Forsaken boss.
However, Treyarch has confirmed that in Black Ops 6, players can choose to play as a story character or a random operator skin. Playing as a story character offers a more immersive experience with unique voice lines and story bits while choosing a random operator lets players enjoy fighting zombies with any cool skins they have unlocked.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be released on October 25 for PlayStation, PC, and Xbox, and will also be available on Game Pass from day one.
