Black Ops 6 will bring back some of Black Ops 1 and 2's most loved features, including the round-based Zombies mode and the traditional Prestige system for multiplayer. Call of Duty veterans can aim for the coveted Prestige Master rank in multiplayer, and Black Ops 6's returning Theater Mode will let players watch replays of matches to see how well they performed against their opponents. The fan-favorite Nuketown map is making its return in Black Ops 6, but it has undergone some drastic changes.

During the Call of Duty NEXT event, Activision and Treyarch revealed the multiplayer map list for Black Ops 6, which includes a new rendition of the Nuketown map known as Sandhouse.

WHERE TO PLAY
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
