Overview

• The cinematic continues directly from Black Ops 6’s Janus Towers finale, thrusting Weaver, Grey, Carver, and Maya into the Dark Aether.
• The modern team fights alongside Richtofen, Dempsey, Takeo, and Nikolai, who appear as never-before-seen incarnations rather than Ultimis or Primis versions.
• A new cowboy-styled antagonist uses caged totem skulls to drain life essence from the assembled characters.
• Ashes of the Damned is billed as the largest round-based Zombies map to date, drawing on Tranzit for layout and adding traversal via a new Wonder Vehicle.
• Treyarch plans a detailed Zombies blog next week, with more BO7 gameplay at Call of Duty: Next on September 30, beta early access on October 2, and launch on November 14.
