There’s a good chance that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will reveal massive plot twists on its upcoming Zombies map Shattered Veil in Season 3. The new update is due to arrive on April 3, and before Treyarch reveals further info, CoD Zombies fans have several demands and anticipations upon entering Richtofen’s mansion. Here are some of the fans’ comments and expectations for the Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil map under the CoD Zombies Reddit and Treyarch’s official X account posts.
‘PLEASE HAVE AN INTRO CUTSCENE’
It’s not that we always get an intro cutscene for the Zombies maps, but The Tomb was a huge deal storywise, and it didn’t have one. This is while the Black Ops 6 Shattered Veil map plays an even bigger role in the storyline, as this might be the first time we contact Edward Richtofen after 7 years in CoD Zombies! Wouldn’t it be frustrating to know our crew had entered Richtofen’s mansion without having a comment on it? Double it with Weaver’s sense of revenge for the Doctor.
‘I Really Hope We Have Character Dialogue’
This is the worry way beyond the intro cutscene. Call of Duty Zombies characters having extra conversations is the sweet salad you get beside your steak, and if actors like Julie Nathanson decide to leave the project for the SAG AFTRA strike, we’ll lose the original dialogues. And worse, an ending cutscene like the one in The Tomb where characters don’t say a word. Hopefully, that’s not the case with the next map.
‘The Turning Point In Story Direction’
The Shattered Veil map is where everything comes full circle in the Black Ops 6 Zombies storyline. We started our journey in Liberty Falls and now we’re going back there with the Sentinel Artifact. There’s a high chance that this map will unveil secrets and truth about the S.A.M. AI, the real Samantha Maxis, and what’s the whole Project Janus of Dr. Edward Richtofen all about in this timeline.
‘Ava Jansen Appear In Shattered Veil’
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies ending revealed that Ava Jansen is dragged into the Dark Aether from the year 2021 in a place that seems to be Richtofen’s mansion. So, did anyone bring her back in time and we’ll see her in the upcoming Shattered Veil map in Black Ops 6 Zombies? That’s a superb plot twist to track.
‘A New Variety of Zombie Types’
It’s been two consecutive years we’ve been getting Zombies content with Call of Duty, and it’s been two years that the undead enemies look all the same. Except for Amalgams which I don’t think anyone likes. During the past couple of weeks, fans have been demanding new zombie types for the new map, and Treyarch has directly responded that the Shattered Veil map won’t have Doppelghasts and Amalgams. What could be next?
‘A Permanent Side Mode’
Over the seasons we get different game modes to enjoy in Zombies, Multiplayer, and Warzone. However, some of them disappear right after the season ends. And that’s like all of them in Zombies. Cowabunga and Christmas Liberty Falls are good examples here. So while we can’t expect a massive update like the return of the Grief game mode, it’s possible to have a few other ways to enjoy the game that don’t have expiration date tags on them in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
‘I Just Want A Bigger Map’
After playing The Tomb, some fans are eager for bigger maps like the Citadelle des Morts and maybe even Tranzit. Wonder when they’re going to remake that old masterpiece – hot take drop – but, chances for the Shattered Veil to be a huge map in the Black Ops 6 Zombies Season 3 update are very low. It’s a mansion with an underground lab, what more could it be?
‘Add Zombies Factions’
Adding Zombies factions with the full content variety is indeed a far stretch for the current state of Black Ops 6 Zombies after 3 seasons. This was reportedly a concept for Cold War Zombies, even though we did have factions by only name and not deep missions in that game. Chances for the introduction of factions in the Black Ops 6 Zombies Shattered Veil update are probably the same as me becoming an astronaut in the next few years.
‘Double Tap Perk Please’
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold did tease the return of the Double Tap Root Beer a few years ago, but, it was either canceled or just never meant to be there. Now with Black Ops 6, we have the same situation where there are a ton of leaks about the Double Tap coming to the Shattered Veil Zombies map in Season 3 or sometime in the future seasons. This perk is one of the original four in CoD Zombies that’s been absent for many many years now.
‘Shattered Hopes…’ (We Want Bug Fixes)
We can’t say that Call of Duty is at its worst state or the publishing company is losing its last cent just because Warzone and Black Ops 6 have too many bugs. However, the bad condition is undeniable. Even with the best maps like the Citadelle des Morts, Black Ops 6‘s Seasonal content is injecting new bugs and errors into the CoD HQ with every single update.
So if Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 don’t let me enjoy the game for some random error, our hopes for the Zombies’ peak story in Shattered Veil will be shattered of course.
