Citadelle des Morts is the next Zombies map coming to Black Ops 6. Now that the intro cinematic for the map has been released, we now know more details about our characters' story after what happened in Terminus.
To help you prepare for its arrival in Black Ops 6 and the new additions that Season 1 reloaded will bring to the game mode, we have gathered all the relevant information.
Release date
Citadelle des Morts will be released with the mid-season update of Season 1. Even though a date hasn't been announced, we believe the map will come out on Thursday, December 12.
This is because seasons usually last eight weeks, so the mid-season update will most likely drop four weeks after Season 1 begins.
Story
After the events of the Terminus main easter egg, Weaver and the rest of the crew are headed to the Principality of Avalon, a region in Europe, to find a way to bring Samantha back from the Dark Aether.
They eventually arrived at a medieval town in France, home of a French Syndicate facility where Project Janus experiments were taking place. Our crew finds Sergei Ravenov, the character from Black Ops Cold War and an old friend of Samantha who was working undercovered for the Syndicate.
Weaver tells Ravenov that they are looking for Gabriel Krafft, a professor who we first saw in the Vanguard Zombies story because he might know how to bring her back. However, their conversation is cut short when Zombies start to raid the place.
We believe part of this map's easter egg will involve locating Krafft, with Peck and Ravenov helping us on the side. This is just a simple theory, so we will have to wait until its release to know for sure.
New features
Without revealing specifics, Treyarch dropped a list of new features that will be added to the game once the map launches. Here is the full list:
- 1 new perk
- 3 new flavors of GobbleGum
- 1 new Field Upgrade
- 1 new Ammo Mod
- 18 new Augments
- The Hand Cannon as a craftable scorestreak
- New Wonder Weapons (plural)
- New enemy types
We will probably receive more information once the mid-season update is closer. When that happens, we will update this article to add all the remaining details about the map and its features.
