Fresh Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Season 2 Details Confirmed Alongside New Trailer

Activision has released a new trailer for Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Season 2, which kicks off later this month.

Season 2 goes live on January 28 and adds five Multiplayer maps — Bounty, Dealership, Lifeline, Bullet (Mid-Season), Grind (Mid-Season) — and sees the return of the fan-favorite Gun Game mode, and adds new weapons and operators.

The trailer confirms the addition of swords and provides a look at some of the operator skins that will be made available with Season 2. Developer Treyarch had already teased the addition of an “iconic” SMG with Season 2, and it’s rumored to be the PPSH-41 from Call of Duty: Vanguard​​​​​​.

As for Zombies, the trailer shows a first look at gameplay of the new map, The Tomb, as well as an ice staff. Warzone does not appear to be represented in the video. Activision is expected to publish a Season 2 roadmap shortly.

Fans eagerly awaiting the launch of Season 2 not just for new content, but for promised improved anti-cheat tech.

Activision has confirmed it plans to let console Ranked players disable crossplay with PC players for the launch of Season 2, with more improvements coming in subsequent seasons after a backlash over cheating across Black Ops 6 Multiplayer and in the battle royale, Warzone.

Speaking of Warzone, Activision has said Season 2 will have less content than originally planned as it addresses some of the more severe issues currently afflicting the game. It will focus on gameplay tuning, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements with the coming season, pushing back new content originally planned for the launch of Season 2.
