Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Zombies mode gets first trailer and story details

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s October release date is inching ever closer, with Activision growing looser-lipped by the day. Which brings us to the company’s latest reveal: a first look at Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode, courtesy of a two-and-a-half-minute cinematic trailer, ahead of a full gameplay breakdown this Thursday, 8th August.

“After being imprisoned for over five years at a remote outpost in the Philippine Sea, the former members of Requiem stage a daring breakout,” explains Activision in a bout of scene-setting over on the Call of Duty blog. “They are aided by the unexpected arrival of a mysterious Filipina smuggler and a former adversary. Unfortunately, their bid for freedom from Terminus Island coincides with another chaotic dimensional outbreak… Welcome to Black Ops 6 Zombies.”

That daring breakout is what we see in Black Ops 6 Zombies’ first cinematic trailer, which introduces the mode’s new characters – former Requiem stuff members Grigori Weaver, Mackenzie “Mac” Carver, Elizabeth Grey, Oskar Strauss, and Stoney Maddox (AKA Raptor One) – alongside their liberators, Maya Aguinaldo and Dr. William Peck.
