Although it's great to see players continuing to enjoy old versions of Call of Duty Zombies, it will be interesting to see what Treyarch cooks up for the Black Ops 6 iteration of the mode. Some feel that the trailer for the game has set up the possibility of a Five-style Call of Duty Zombies map in Black Ops 6, but the developer is yet to officially reveal what's coming next for the mode. As the first mainline Treyarch Call of Duty title since 2020, the expectations are sure to be high.
