COD Next gameplay details 

Omnimovement

Treyarch boosts player mobility options across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Call of Duty: Warzone with new Omnimovement mechanics. The new feature allows players to seamlessly chain combat maneuvers together, like sliding, diving, and a newly enhanced supine prone, all with a full 360-degree range of motion.

Black Ops 6 Zombies

Every Zombies map coming to Black Ops 6 – including Terminus and Liberty Falls at launch and additional maps throughout upcoming Seasons – includes a multi-stage Main Quest. Whether you’re hunting through the Liberty Lanes bowling alley for a delicious can of Stamin-Up or visiting Olley’s Comics for a Quick Revive (as well as the exciting first issue of the Aetherella graphic novel), you’ll have access to the same thirst-quenching Perks found in Terminus at launch.

Call of Duty: Warzone – Area 99 Resurgence map

Welcome to the birth of Nuketown. Call of Duty: Next brought the very first live gameplay of the all-new Warzone map, Area 99, coming to Season 1 later this year. Designed by Treyarch to optimize movement flow and visibility, let’s take a closer look at a Resurgence Map set firmly in the Call of Duty: Black Ops world.

Set against the unrelenting heat of the Nevada desert, Area 99 – or more specifically, the Echo Ridge Weapons Station – was a top-secret government site constructed in the 1950s, concealed from the public just miles away from the original Nuketown testing site. Designed to push the bounds of radiation testing, Area 99 was subsequently abandoned and erased from government records after an unfortunate reactor leak.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches on PS5 and PS4 on October 25. The Truth Lies.
