Black Ops 6 Citadelle des Morts: Everything we know about the new Zombies map

Yes, a castle!

Black Ops 6 Citadelle des Morts first look

Citadelle des Morts is a new Zombies map coming to Black Ops 6. This will be the first post-launch map for the third game mode and the first details have been revealed ahead of the release of Season 1.

We have gathered everything we know so far about the map so you can read about it and stay in the loop.

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 main easter egg, the Terminus crew is headed to Avalon, a region in Europe. We will not mention the reason because that would be spoilers and we don't want to ruin the story for anyone who hasn't seen the final cutscene of Terminus.

They will eventually discover an abandoned castle, filled with the undead and many surprises. Not many details have been revealed so we will have to wait for more.

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.
