Black Ops 6 may already be praised as the best CoD since Black Ops 3 by fans, but our review still highlighted how the gameplay was let down by lackluster maps. That is about to change though, because Nuketown is back.

Nuketown is a staple across Call of Duty games, the classic map sees players thrown into a futuristic-style town designed for the specific reason of testing nukes in its vicinity. The map itself is undeniably a fan favorite, with players enjoying Zombies, Multiplayer, or the various Easter eggs that surround it since it was released back in 2010.

Now, it’s coming to Black Ops 6, as the first new map arriving to the already popular game. So, if you’re looking to dive into the town many know like the back of their hand with your best weapon, here’s all you need to know about Nuketown in BO6.

Black Ops 6 Nuketown release date

Nuketown will be arriving for free in Black Ops 6 on November 1, just one week after the game released on October 25. This was announced by Treyarch back on October 10.

The teaser showcased the classic Nuketown sign, complete with the words November 1, instead of the traditional population.

On top of this, it’s been confirmed by Treyarch that this will be the original Black Ops Nuketown design, with the developers remastering the map many know and love.

Nuketown 24/7 mode leaked

Along with the Nuketown release date, an upcoming 24/7 playlist could be on the cards according to a leak by Semtex.

In a post on X, the leaker claims the map will be returning with a 24/7 playlist, featuring modes like TDM, Kill Confirmed, Hardpoint, Domination, and Kill Order. It could also include a hardcore variant of the aforementioned game modes.

Naturally, this is purely a leak, so it’s important players take the information with a pinch of salt. However, with the map releasing on November 1, fans won’t have to wait for too long to find out whether the first 24/7 playlist will be Nuketown.

So, that’s all you need to know about Nuketown coming to Black Ops 6. While waiting for it to drop, be sure to check out the best weapons in the game, or discover all the best side Easter eggs in Liberty Falls as part of the Zombies mode.
