In celebration of “115 Day,” the team behind Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has revealed new information about the next Zombies map called The Tomb. Here are details about the release date, new weapons, and more for the upcoming Zombies map.
Per the Call of Duty blog, The Tomb is scheduled to be released on Black Ops 6 as part of Season 02 on January 28 and will continue the story that started in the Citadelle des Morts Zombies map, with the characters Weaver, Grey, Carver, and Maya going to an excavation site that was once an ancient burial ground.
As always, Treyarch is creating a deep lore for the new map, with the blog post revealing details about past excavations that revealed catacombs that run deep underground, adding a sense of mystery and intrigue to help make the atmosphere creepier for the new Zombies map.
The Call of Duty Blog Post provided some interesting information about the layout of The Tomb, comparing the upcoming map to that of Liberty Falls, the first map available as part of the initial launch of Black Ops 6. The Tomb will feature tighter play spaces with a focus on replayability. Given that the map is set to be catacombs, it’s no wonder that the spaces will be more enclosed, making encounters with zombies in later rounds undoubtedly more intense.
The map is entirely new, being built from the ground up for Black Ops 6, with the blog post also mentioning that there will be plenty of easter eggs and references to the greater Call of Duty Zombies lore.

It’s also been revealed as part of the announcement that Kevin Sherwood’s soundtrack for Black Ops 6 Zombies: The Tomb will soon be released as a full album, along with a guest vocalist that has yet to be revealed. However, a hint was provided in the form of a YouTube video, with heavy metal fans speculating that Heavy Metal singer Matt Geafy is providing vocals for the upcoming soundtrack. Heafy is part of the Heavy Metal Band Trivium, and should these speculations prove accurate, the singer will definitely add an intense flair to the soundtrack for The Tomb.
While there were no explicit details given about the new weapons that would be making their debut in The Tomb Zombies map, there were slight hints about what would be featured. In particular, the blog post stated that the new Pack-a-Punch weapon camos would be “a little more evocative” and that the Wonder Weapon at the center of this map would be a “reimagined one from the past.”
The blog post also teased that “one of the most iconic SMGs in Zombies history” would also be returning for The Tomb, and while there has been speculation on what it could be, a prominent CoD leaker would reveal on X that the gun in question is the MP40.
On top of the new Zombies map, plenty of new quality-of-life updates will be arriving as well:
