Call of Duty fans are in for an exciting treat as the first DLC Zombies map for Black Ops 6 has been revealed.
Named Citadel Desmorts, this new map is set to launch mid-season, offering a fresh and thrilling experience for dedicated Black Ops 6 Zombies players.
The map, which means Citadel of the Dead, will take players into a spooky, medieval setting packed with new challenges, enemies, and mysteries.
Map Overview
Citadel Desmorts is a deserted medieval castle in Avalon, possibly located in or near France. This setting brings to mind the popular Black Ops 3 Zombies map, Der Riese Drache, which also featured a medieval castle.
After the shocking revelations from the Terminus main quest, characters Weaver, Maya, Carver, and Grey travel to Europe and stumble upon this ominous castle filled with countless horrors and puzzling secrets.
Atmosphere and Look
The gloomy, menacing atmosphere of Citadel Desmorts is designed to create a sense of fear and unease.
With low clouds or possibly fog, seeing clearly will be tough, making the game more challenging and tense. The setting aims to deliver a spine-chilling experience as players explore the eerie halls of the citadel.
New Features and Gameplay Elements
Wonder Weapons
One of the most exciting aspects of Citadel Desmorts is the introduction of several new Wonder Weapons.
While details are limited, there’s talk that these could include elemental weapons similar to the elemental staffs and bows seen before in the series.
Also, leaks have hinted at the return of the Ray Gun Mark I, as well as other unique Wonder Weapons tied to future DLC maps.
New Enemies
Players will face a new type of enemy lurking in the dark corridors of the citadel. Based on preview images, it’s almost certain that the Mimic will make a comeback, bringing its unique and challenging combat style back to the game.
