During this section of the event, it’s worth noting that we will most likely get a beta date reveal. There were also rumors of a potential alpha coming to Black Ops 6 that, if true, would release shortly after the event ends similar to the Black Ops Cold War Alpha.

WARZONE CONTENT

Call of Duty Next has been confirmed on August 22nd to offer the first look at the new Resurgence Map coming to the Black Ops 6 Warzone Integration, Area 99.

Due to the small image the community was given, it appears that Area 99 will feature elements of fan-favorite MP map, Nuketown. There’s not much on Area 99 at the moment, but we will cover information as SOON as it releases, which will most likely be at Call of Duty Next on August 28th! For now, here’s what else is rumored to be coming to Warzone within the next year:

Hopefully, we’ll get confirmation on the rumor about an “early pre-order zombies map”.
