CoD: Black Ops 6's Nuketown Release Date Revealed, Plus Liberty Falls Map Changes

As a seasoned gamer who’s been around since the days of dial-up internet and NES cartridges, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia with the return of the iconic Nuketown map in Black Ops 6. First introduced to me back in the early 2010s, this tiny yet chaotic suburban nuclear testing ground became my go-to map for countless hours of mayhem and camaraderie. It’s like reuniting with an old friend who’s been away for a while but hasn’t changed a bit!


Black Ops 6 is set to debut on October 25, featuring 16 fresh multiplayer levels from the get-go. However, an upcoming episode of Call of Duty’s podcast has hinted that Treyarch’s legendary Nuketown map will be reintroduced after the launch.

First appearing in Call of Duty: Black Ops back in 2010, Nuketown is a compact map modeled after a 1950s American suburban neighborhood, serving as a site for nuclear tests. It has gained popularity due to its small size and high-intensity gameplay, and it’s made recurring appearances over the years with various alterations.

In this podcast, they chat with Miles Leslie, Treyarch’s associate creative director, who hints at Nuketown making a comeback in Black Ops 6. However, when asked whether Black Ops 6 will include a ’90s-themed version of Nuketown, the developer remained tight-lipped about the map’s specific setting.

Just after the podcast’s release, Treyarch confirmed that the map will debut on November 1st, as hinted by a brief teaser video revealing a part of the map. The design clearly evokes a 1950s Nuketown aesthetic, yet due to the limited footage, it’s hard to predict what potential adjustments might be in store.

The conversation during the interview includes details about Black Ops 6 Zombies, where they mention that an additional round-based map will be released by the end of the year before its launch. At its debut, the game will have Terminus and Liberty Falls as the initial round-based Zombies maps.

At the unveiling of Call of Duty: Next, Liberty Falls drew some criticism from the community who felt that the map’s layout and feel were overly casual and lacked the ominous, traditional Zombies ambiance that fans are accustomed to.

Activision has confirmed that the layout of Liberty Falls has been adjusted since its initial unveiling, as the version shown previously was not yet finalized. The current version of Liberty Falls now features alterations to create a “more somber atmosphere.” Additionally, user interface (HUD) elements are being tweaked specifically for the game mode. However, Activision emphasizes that while Liberty Falls is intended to be a more relaxed and compact map, Terminus remains a much larger map, offering a more traditional Zombies experience.

In simpler terms, the podcast hints that we’ll get additional zombie information as the release date of Black Ops 6 approaches, which is scheduled for October 25 across various platforms such as Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.

As an enthusiastic gamer, I’m thrilled to share that the upcoming title, Black Ops 6, promises an incredible gaming experience! This game will feature a captivating campaign mode, engaging multiplayer options, and the iconic Zombies mode we all love. So far, here’s what I’ve gathered about Black Ops 6 Zombies:
