Followers are at the moment invested within the Name of Responsibility: Black Ops 6 Zombies storyline, however will the occasions of the present sport proceed in COD 2025?

It’s about that point of 12 months when Name of Responsibility followers begin to hope for a glimpse of what’s subsequent in retailer for them.

For the primary time in years, it looks as if Black Ops 6 is doing an incredible job of preserving its gamers invested, with many followers trying ahead to imminent content material such because the new Shattered Veil Zombies map.

However the wheel of time stops for no sport, and a brand new Name of Responsibility title is inevitable. Early leaks report that Treyarch shall be within the driver’s seat as soon as once more for COD 2025, so is it potential that this 12 months’s launch may proceed the Zombies storyline?

Name of Responsibility 2025 Zombies

It’s price noting that Activision is but to disclose any particulars about Name of Responsibility 2025, together with confirming the longstanding rumor that it’s being developed by Treyarch.

Leaks additionally recommend that COD 2025 is about to be a sequel to Black Ops 2, a sport that was really set in 2025.

With that in thoughts, we will count on a 30+ 12 months hole from the occasions of Black Ops 6 Zombies, making it troublesome to arrange a direct sequel.

Nonetheless, different leaks have had a number of say concerning the plans for Zombies on this 12 months’s title:

The Unique Crew Returns

Again in October 2024, Insider Gaming claimed that the unique Zombies Crew may very well be returning in COD 2025. The positioning claimed that this information got here from a number of sources who had been invited to early playtests of the upcoming title.

Longtime Zombies followers will keep in mind that we final noticed Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski, Takeo Masaki, and Edward Richtofen all collectively in Black Ops 3’s Revelations map. There, the beloved characters entered an limitless cycle starting in Origins and ending within the aforementioned Revelations.

Since 2016, solely Richtofen has made a comeback, resurfacing on the finish of Chilly Battle Zombies and establishing the occasions of the Black Ops 6 Zombies storyline.

Might the opposite authentic Zombies Crew members in some way return and nonetheless be part of the Black Ops 6 story? Nicely, it’s not so simple as that.

The rationale why ‘Eddie’ Richtofen was in a position to return was as a result of he was reborn in a baby’s physique on the finish of Origins. Then, on the conclusion of Black Ops 4 Zombies, Eddie and Samantha Maxis are the one two beings to move into the brand new universe, whereas the remainder of the multiverse is destroyed.

It’s complicated however, in concept, the one manner we’d have the ability to play as the unique Crew could be someplace of their repeating cycle – until Treyarch needs to put in writing the characters into the storyline one other manner.

Map Settings

One other fascinating leak from Insider Gaming, this time from March 2025, reported that there shall be six round-based maps coming to Name of Responsibility 2025.

Amongst these are quite a lot of adventurous settings, comparable to a map set in post-WW2 New York following a Nazi nuclear bomb assault, a Japanese temple set on the base of an energetic volcano, or an area station contained in the Darkish Aether.

If this leak proves appropriate, maybe Treyarch is trying to transfer away from the extra ‘grounded’ story seen in Black Ops 6 Zombies, which (as of Season 3) options two maps set in a West Virginian city.

The leak additionally experiences that Grief and Outbreak modes are set to return on this 12 months’s launch, however we keep in mind listening to one thing related about final 12 months’s title.

It’s price mentioning that the Black Ops 6 storyline technically already continued with the occasions of Fashionable Warfare 3 Zombies (AKA MWZ). There, we noticed the organic daughter of Samantha Maxis trying into the occasions of Liberty Falls.

Due to this fact, we predict it’s doubtless that Treyarch will sooner or later proceed the present storyline, even when it strikes away from it on this 12 months’s launch. In any case, we lastly simply obtained extra Chaos storyline content material after 7 years of ready!
