Nuketown has been around inCall of Dutyfor well over a decade, having first been introduced in Treyarch’s original Call of Duty: Black Ops in 2010. Since then, it’s reappeared with updates and changes in every entry of the Black Ops sub-franchise.
The map is named for its setting, a small all-American town filled with mannequins that’s meant to be used for simulating a nuclear attack.

Nuketown has remained extremely popular over the years for a number of reasons, with tight level design that easily facilitates fast-paced fights and quick reflexes. It’s also popular for Zombies mode, necessitating some careful timing and tight runs in order to keep from getting overwhelmed by hordes.
I’ll certainly be excited to give Nuketown a warm welcome with my squad when it arrives. Hopefully it’ll be available for Zombies in addition to multiplayer, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is slated to launch on Oct. 25, 2024 across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC (including Steam, the Microsoft Store, and Battle.net), PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4.
