Black Ops 6 Zombies The Tomb left us with another cliffhanger, hinting at a possible new location. The next Zombies map will presumably be “Shattered Veil,” the latest area of Project Janus. Here’s what to expect for the Shattered Veil, including a potential release date and features.
When does the Shattered Veil map come out in BO6 Zombies?
Although Verdansk has primarily taken the lead on BO6 and Warzone Season 3, Treyarch is still cooking with Zombies content. A few snippets have been shown, starting with a log from the fan-favorite character Edward Richtofen. We recently got a confirmation that the Shattered Veil map, previously known as “The Mansion,” will be released in Season 3, either on April 3 or during the mid-season point.

Since Zombies teasers have been rolling out before the Season 3 launch, it’s highly likely that Shattered Veil will debut on April 3. However, we have seen mid-season releases in the past, including the fan-favorite Citadelle des Morts.
Everything we know about the BO6 Zombies Shattered Veil map so far
The Shattered Veil presumably takes place in a mansion, which is likely why it was originally given this title. The first teaser shows this building covered in black smoke, with an outside setting similar to Citadelle des Morts’ Town Square. The post teases, “Personal log. Edward Richtofen recording,” suggesting he may finally be a playable character.
Considering that Richtofen has been mentioned in this post, his creation, the Wunderwaffe DG-2, could be the next Wonder Weapon. Before Black Ops 6 was released, we saw Edward holding this device in the Liberty Falls trailer, and now it seems like it’ll be available in the Shattered Veil. Nevertheless, there’s still potential for other Wonder Weapons to appear, whether an elemental staff or an entirely new tool.
Another BO6 Zombies teaser goes inside the building, displaying a painting of a mysterious man. Many fans believe this person in question is tied to Black Ops 4’s The Order, as his clothing relatively matches the characters from this game. The Order was known for using Sentinel Artifacts, which is also a part of BO6’s The Tomb. With these two hints, the Order may make a return, spreading chaos in Zombies once more.

While we’re still eagerly awaiting more details about the Shattered Veil, whispers in the community hint that this map might be on a more intimate scale compared to the others. If the rumors hold true, it could be roughly the size of Liberty Falls, though nothing is set in stone just yet. I’ll update this guide whenever the official news drops.
