Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies Terminus Cinematic trailer hints at Richtofen’s villainous return

So it begins...

No matter how many years have passed, Doctor Edward Richtofen remains a fan favorite among the Zombies community. Sure, he’s insane, but that’s just one of the many reasons why we love him. Though we haven’t seen much of him for quite a while, Richtofen has finally made his mark again in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies Terminus Cinematic trailer.

The trailer begins with the Black Ops 6 crew, including Grigori Weaver and Dr. Elizabeth Grey, who have been imprisoned after the Black Ops Cold War events. Weaver stares ominously at a writing on the wall, showcasing the name “Richtofen.” Dr. William Peck arrives shortly after to bust them out, explaining how Edward is the mastermind behind their capture. Here, we learn that Richtofen will be the primary target of the BO6 Zombies storyline as the crew seeks revenge.

Although Richtofen didn’t make his official appearance, the trailer strongly suggests that he will return soon. Even more so, the Black Ops 6 ensemble has already mentioned getting their hands on his current coordinates. However, the road to him will be no easy feat, considering all the zombie hordes standing in their way.

At best, I would say Richtofen will be the final boss in the Black Ops 6 Zombies storyline. It may take a while to see him, but at least we know he’s finally coming back for the Dark Aether saga.

The Blizzard Entertainment page has also indicated that the new narrative will dive into “Richtofen’s motivations and goals.” It’ll be interesting to see what his mission is this time around, especially since he’s always had some big agenda throughout the Black Ops series.

Whatever Richtofen’s plan is in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, I’m sure he’ll always keep us entertained, as he has in past entries. I’m also hoping the notable voice actor Nolan North returns for the role so that I can hear him say a few classic Edward Richtofen lines.
