The highly anticipated Season 4 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is just around the corner, set to launch on Thursday, May 29. While it may not be the most groundbreaking season yet, it promises to deliver a variety of new content such as weapons, maps, and modes that will undoubtedly keep players engaged.
In multiplayer, three new maps will be introduced: Fugitive and Shutdown, designed for 6v6 gameplay, and a smaller scale map called Blitz, tailored for frantic Strike lobbies. Additionally, fans can look forward to the return of the classic map Fringe from Black Ops 3, which adds exciting nostalgia to the game, particularly as recent datamines suggest advanced movement mechanics may also return.
New weapons will be added to the game, including popular options from Black Ops Cold War like the LC10 submachine gun and the FFAR assault rifle, which can be unlocked through the Season 4 battle pass. Players can also access classic arms, including the Essex Model 07 marksman rifle and the Olympia shotgun, as rewards through in-game events—these familiar weapons are likely to add an enjoyable blast from the past, despite the absence of entirely new designs.
A fan-favorite mode, One in the Chamber, will make its debut halfway through the season, reinforcing its status as a classic that many players look forward to.
For Zombie enthusiasts, a surprising revival awaits—Grief mode is making a comeback after its long absence since Black Ops 2. This mode introduces a competitive twist to the Zombies experience, placing two teams on the same map. Teams will need to outlast each other by strategically maneuvering and manipulating zombie hordes to their advantage. However, it’s worth noting that there won’t be a new round-based map this season. Although five such maps have already been released, the lack of a sixth one will leave some fans wanting more.
Overall, while Season 4 may not introduce groundbreaking innovations, the reintroduction of beloved elements and fresh content promises to be an engaging experience for players. The anticipated launch next week is sure to energize the community and offer a chance for both nostalgic and new players to dive back into the action.
With this new season, Call of Duty continues to adapt and evolve, ensuring that its dedicated fan base always has something to enjoy.
