The highly anticipated Zombies map, Citadelle des Morts (translated as "Citadel of the Dead"), is arriving in Black Ops 6. Although specific details remain scarce, several intriguing elements about the map's setting, story, and gameplay features have been revealed.
Release Date
Citadelle des Morts is set to launch on December 5, as part of the *Black Ops 6* Season 1 Reloaded update.
Setting
As the name suggests, Citadelle des Morts takes place in an eerie, abandoned castle located in Europe. This sprawling fortress is teeming with hordes of the undead and is situated in Avalon, a fictional region also featured in multiplayer maps like Skyline and the rumored Avalon-themed Warzone map.
Storyline
The map's story builds directly on the events from the Terminus Easter egg. Returning characters Weaver, Maya, Carver, and Grey follow clues from the culmination of the Terminus Main Quest, leading them to the mysterious castle. According to the developers, this location is tied to shocking revelations from the Terminus quest, so players are encouraged to complete it for better context.
In a recent announcement, the developers described the setting as a “citadel of the dead,” suggesting that the map will delve deeper into the Zombies lore established in earlier maps like Liberty Falls and Terminus.
Leaked Wonder Weapon
The standout addition in Citadelle des Morts appears to be a unique Wonder Weapon. According to leaks, this map could introduce a melee-based Wonder Weapon called the Umberal Blade. This weapon reportedly features four elemental variations, potentially unlocked through upgrades like Pack-a-Punching.
Another leak hints at the return of the iconic Wonderwaffe DG-2, a fan-favorite weapon seen in the opening cinematic of Liberty Falls. The possibility of its inclusion could add an exciting layer of nostalgia for long-time Zombies fans.
Additional Features
While specific map-related features are still under wraps, the Season 1 Reloaded update promises a variety of content for the Zombies mode:
- New Perk
- Field Upgrade
- Ammo Mod
- 18 New Augments
- 3 New GobbleGums
- Hand Cannon Support Weapon
It’s unclear whether all these additions will debut with Citadelle des Morts or roll out gradually during Season 1, but players can also look forward to a Zombies-themed event in the latter half of the season.
What to Expect
Further details about Citadelle des Morts are expected in the official Black Ops 6 Season 1 Reloaded Blog, set to release in early December.
