The mid-season update for Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 1 Reloaded is set to launch on 6 December at 1:00 AM (GMT+8), which is 5 December at 9:00 AM (PT) / 5:00 PM (GMT) globally across all platforms, delivering a range of fresh content to keep fans engaged.

Zombies: Citadelle des Morts

The highlight of the update is Citadelle des Morts, a brand-new Zombies map located in a medieval fortress. Picking up after the events of Terminus, operators—including Weaver, Maya, and Grey—journey to the European realm of Avalon to meet Gabriel Krafft. Their mission? Uncover the secrets of the “Sentinel Artifact,” an ancient relic that might hold the key to freeing Samantha Maxis from her otherworldly imprisonment.

Multiplayer: New & Remastered Maps

Multiplayer fans can explore three distinct maps:

• Hacienda: A beloved Black Ops 4 map, set around a luxurious vineyard estate.
• Racket: A fresh, high-stakes arena where battles unfold inside a sprawling bank vault.
• Nuketown Holiday: The iconic Nuketown gets a festive makeover with snow and seasonal vibes.

Holiday cheer extends to limited-time modes like Ran-Snack, where teams race to collect cookies, and Infectious Holiday, featuring Christmas-themed players and zombies.

Warzone: Ranked Play & Festive Fun

For competitive players, Warzone will introduce Ranked Play, complete with a structured ruleset and exclusive rewards. Combat will intensify in Urzikstan as players climb the leaderboard in battle royale action.

Festive modes, such as Holiday Rush on Area 99 and Slay Ride Resurgence in Urzikstan, bring seasonal chaos. Snowball fights and the hunt for special loot are sure to spice up gameplay. Additionally, the new Reflexes Perk delays triggered explosives when sprinting, offering a tactical edge.

What’s Next: Squid Game Crossover

Looking ahead to January, Black Ops 6 and Warzone will embrace the Netflix phenomenon Squid Game in an exclusive crossover event, though specifics remain under wraps.

Season 1 Reloaded promises something for everyone, whether you’re a Zombies adventurer, a multiplayer tactician, or a Warzone competitor. Get ready to dive into the action this December.
