Black Ops 6 is bringing back the classic Nuketown map, but most modern players have no nostalgia for this Call of Duty classic - will it hold up?

Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 is quite literally just around the corner. The game boasts the longest development time in Call Of Duty history, with a full three years of work going into this entry prior to release. It launches with sixteen total maps, with a seventeenth—Nuketown—launching just days after the main game.

There's also the new Nuketown-inspired Warzone map, Area 99, to look forward to, as well as the Warhead Gunfight map.

Nuketown comes to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Nov. 1, 2024, just a few days after launch. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is slated to launch across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC on October 25, as well as being available in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Fan-favorite map Nuketown first appeared in the original Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Treyarch confirmed the addition of Nuketown in Black Ops 6 with a post on X. “Bring your sunscreen,” the post is captioned. It also features an image shot from the perspective inside of a house on Nuketown, with a mannequin visible in frame. An explosion can be seen in the distance, potentially teasing the eponymous nuke.

Black Ops 6 releases on October 25, period. It's been a tough pill to swallow for hardcore fans realizing that there isn't an early access period.

Black Ops 6 is coming out on October 25, and the game has leaned heavily on historical figures and the post-Cold War chaos in its marketing materials. It would be easy to think that such reliance on history was going somewhere.
