Followers are at the moment invested within the Name of Obligation: Black Ops 6 Zombies storyline, however will the occasions of the present sport proceed in COD 2025?
It’s about that point of yr when Name of Obligation followers begin to hope for a glimpse of what’s subsequent in retailer for them.
For the primary time in years, it looks as if Black Ops 6 is doing an important job of protecting its gamers invested, with many followers trying ahead to imminent content material reminiscent of the brand new Shattered Veil Zombies map.
However the wheel of time stops for no sport, and a brand new Name of Obligation title is inevitable. Early leaks report that Treyarch might be within the driver’s seat as soon as once more for COD 2025, so is it attainable that this yr’s launch might proceed the Zombies storyline?
Name of Obligation 2025 Zombies
It’s value noting that Activision is but to disclose any particulars about Name of Obligation 2025, together with confirming the longstanding rumor that it’s being developed by Treyarch.
Leaks additionally counsel that COD 2025 is ready to be a sequel to Black Ops 2, a sport that was really set in 2025.
With that in thoughts, we are able to count on a 30+ yr hole from the occasions of Black Ops 6 Zombies, making it troublesome to arrange a direct sequel.
Nonetheless, different leaks have had plenty of say concerning the plans for Zombies on this yr’s title:
The Unique Crew Returns
Again in October 2024, Insider Gaming claimed that the unique Zombies Crew might be returning in COD 2025. The location claimed that this information got here from a number of sources who had been invited to early playtests of the upcoming title.
Longtime Zombies followers will keep in mind that we final noticed Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski, Takeo Masaki, and Edward Richtofen all collectively in Black Ops 3’s Revelations map. There, the beloved characters entered an infinite cycle starting in Origins and ending within the aforementioned Revelations.
Since 2016, solely Richtofen has made a comeback, resurfacing on the finish of Chilly Struggle Zombies and organising the occasions of the Black Ops 6 Zombies storyline.
Might the opposite unique Zombies Crew members in some way return and nonetheless be part of the Black Ops 6 story? Nicely, it’s not so simple as that.
The explanation why ‘Eddie’ Richtofen was in a position to return was as a result of he was reborn in a toddler’s physique on the finish of Origins. Then, on the conclusion of Black Ops 4 Zombies, Eddie and Samantha Maxis are the one two beings to go into the brand new universe, whereas the remainder of the multiverse is destroyed.
It’s complicated however, in concept, the one method we’d be capable to play as the unique Crew could be someplace of their repeating cycle – until Treyarch needs to put in writing the characters into the storyline one other method.
Map Settings
One other fascinating leak from Insider Gaming, this time from March 2025, reported that there might be six round-based maps coming to Name of Obligation 2025.
Amongst these are plenty of adventurous settings, reminiscent of a map set in post-WW2 New York following a Nazi nuclear bomb assault, a Japanese temple set on the base of an lively volcano, or an area station contained in the Darkish Aether.
If this leak proves appropriate, maybe Treyarch is trying to transfer away from the extra ‘grounded’ story seen in Black Ops 6 Zombies, which (as of Season 3) options two maps set in a West Virginian city.
The leak additionally reviews that Grief and Outbreak modes are set to return on this yr’s launch, however we bear in mind listening to one thing related about final yr’s title.
It’s value mentioning that the Black Ops 6 storyline technically already continued with the occasions of Fashionable Warfare 3 Zombies (AKA MWZ). There, we noticed the organic daughter of Samantha Maxis trying into the occasions of Liberty Falls.
Subsequently, we predict it’s doubtless that Treyarch will sooner or later proceed the present storyline, even when it strikes away from it on this yr’s launch. In spite of everything, we lastly simply received extra Chaos storyline content material after 7 years of ready!
